Stopped losing weight.



Recommended Posts

Yes its normal. Try staying off the scales for a few days and see how you are then. I know its hard initially and we want to weigh everyday to see the numbers going down but as long as you are keeping to the plan it'll come off. Maybe just not every day!

19llbs in 11 days is amazing, focus on that and be kind to yourself.

Congratulations on the surgery :)

Yes I experienced the same thing. Actually didn't loose any weight for 9 days, but I continued following my plan and concentrated on getting in all of my daily Protein, fluids and minimum calories and on day 10 things began moving again. Very normal.

Hello :)

Yes, I am experiencing the same thing. My surgery was 11-14 and I have lost 15 pounds. The past few days, I haven't lost much of anything whereas before, I was losing 1-2 lbs. a day.

Glad to know that this is normal, and I will try to stay off the scales for a couple of days.

Good luck to you :)

DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF EVERY DAY!!!!!!! The progress you make happens much faster that you were expecting, but it also does not happen at a constant rate. Your weight loss is more like the growth spurts of puberty - dramatic changes over time, but almost unnoticed from day to day.

If you want to know what is happening, go clothes shopping every 4-6 weeks. The changes as you shrink will be VERY apparent since your sizes will change just about every time!!

Hey everyone. Please I need a serious help????

I'm 6 weeks post op and I only loose 18 pound like 3 weeks after surgery, since then I haven't lost anything and just last week's my scale said I gain 2 pound back.

When you first lose weight you lose lots of Fluid. You need that Fluid so after your body figures out that you aren't having an emergency, it readjust. If you are following your diet plan you are losing FAT no matter what the scale says.

I lost 20 pounds in the first three weeks, then gained some on the scale but yesterday my weight started dropping again.

Expect your weight loss to be like stairs not like a slide.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
