Let's talk about stalls...



Recommended Posts

My first stall came right at the beginning of my 3 week post op mark. It lasted for two whole weeks.

I am almost 4 months post op now and I've had a few stalls since then, most only lasting about a week at a time. Most of the time though, I am losing 2-4 pounds per week.

Same here - around 3-4 week mark for 2-3 weeks if i remember correctly - many stalls along the way - even when i did the same activity and ate the same foods. My surgery was March 2016 and i steadily lost until around october 2016 - where it has taken me october til now (~5 months) to get down 10 pounds - going up and down 2-4 pounds over and over again. I call that a protracted stall - but i am 1 pound from goal or there abouts -

stalls will happen - and it is easy to obsess - but save yourself the worry - if you are eating what you are supposed to or close to it - maybe lay of the weighing for a week or two - the weight will go

3 week stall lasted 20 days. Had another 3 week stall last month and two week stall at 8 months out. Every time I can't help but wonder if this is the most I will loose. It's a mind game. I just continue doing my best and switching things up a bit until the scale moves again.

In my 1st one now..5 weeks it started...scale hasn't moved for 10 days. I can't help but be paranoid that its because I can eat meat etc....thats when it started. Did you vets just carry on or do something to jump start it again?

      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. 🤞
