Stall at week 3 already?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Is it possible to stall at week 3?

I've been weighing the same for over a week now and I just had my rny on may 20th.

Isn't it too soon to be stalling?

Nope. You're right on schedule.

Google or search this forum for " 3 week stall" and you will find literally hundreds of questions and answers about it. 99% of is have gone through it and continued on to lose weight.

You're not doing anything wrong. Just stay the course and it will pass.

Tomorrow I'll be 3 weeks and for the last few days I've been gaining and losing the same 1-3lbs... I am so glad I read about the stall here because I'm mentally prepared to handle it. If I hadn't I would do what I normally do and give up. It sucks since I am only down about 14lbs since surgery BUT that's 14 less than before and hopefully the scale moves soon but if not I see changes so I'm hanging in there. Just wait it will move eventually and search the topic for lots of tips and resources

almost everyone experiences that. In fact, we have an official name for it - "the three-week stall". If you do a search on it, you'll probably find thousands of threads on it

Thank you!
I tend to freak out easily, I must admit.

Thank you! I feel much better now. I've been stressing over this that I didn't feel like eating because I didn't want to put on weight but then I remembered that this is the reason I'm here now. [emoji27]

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
