I'm new here and frustrated. I know stalls are common but I'm currently in my longest lasting one. Just wondering when the common stall periods seem to be and others experiences? I will be 5 months post op in just a few days and the scale hasn't budged in a little over a month now. Already feeling like I'm a slow loser and this is not helping. <_<

How many calories are you taking in per day? Carbs? Protein? Water? Are you journaling everything that you eat and drink? What are you doing for exercise?

Calories, Protein, and Water are the main things that I'm currently tracking. My calories typically average between 700-900 on a daily basis which is where my surgeon wants me to be. Basically at this point he's just said to stay under 1,000 so that's what I'm doing. Protein, I keep that around 80 or so grams daily. Water, I'm currently getting around 70 ounces daily. I'm sure I need to work on increasing that. AND...I definitely need to get more strict with exercise. Walking and the occasional Zumba session are it so far but I know I'm not doing that nearly enough.

Are you weighing all of your food and tracking everything down to the calorie/carb gram/protein gram/etc? I ask that because it's easy to underestimate food intake when you don't weigh and track. If you're eating 700-900 calories per day, I don't see why you would stall for that long. You didn't mention your carb intake. Depending on how many carbs you eat per day, that might be part of your problem.

At this stage of the game, it is mostly about consumption, not exercise. Typically, weight loss stops if there is an issue with consumption, not because you are not exercising enough.

      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. 🤞
