I will be 4 weeks post op Friday and I lost most of my weight the first two weeks after surgery and now nothing I'm not too disappointed because I have to remind myself it's only 4 weeks I have so much more time to go and a lot of people stall but it helps to know the weight is gonna come off even with surgery weight loss doesn't happen over night

I could have written your post! Same exact thing is happening to me. Also I am end of week 4. Lost 20 pounds first two weeks, 2 pounds second week and fourth week....nothing. I am just glad I am not gaining. But it is frustrating. I chalk it up to my body hanging on to every little morsel of food possible.

I'm just at 5 weeks post-op. I stalled for a bit. I haven't been meeting my Fluid or Protein goals for a couple of days, but I've dropped 4 pounds. Trying to do better. Adding more exercise as well...

I stalled for two weeks exactly. Surgery was 7/25 I lost 10lbs at my post op appt on 8/3 and stalled up until this past Monday when my stall broke. What I had to do was up my Water. That is what helped me. I was working out 7 days straight for atleast and hour on treadmill and elliptical and felt that I was about to break if my stall didn't let up. My weight didn't go up it just stayed put at 207. So I knew eventually it would break. I bought fresh lemons bought a new water bottle and added a half of a lemon to my Water. Since water flushes fat out of our bodies through urine and feces it is very important to drink up to the 64oz of water and u will most likely see a change then. Water is the key and when I stalled I wasn't getting in enough. As soon as I added more water to my diet the scale started moving again. I lost 2 lbs in 2 days and it's still moving. I'm also still working out.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
