So you have gained 4 pounds a week for the past 3 weeks or you lost 10 pounds the first week, gained 4 the second week and your weight has remained the same for three weeks. It hasn't even BEEN 4 weeks since 7/24. That's when I got my surgery.

What is pcos?

Yes is been the same for 3 weeks and pcos is polycistic ovarian syndrome is s hormonal problem that makes you gain weight and have abnormal periods

I had surgery one month ago. I was losing weight rapidly and then BOOM i've been stuck at 203 for like two weeks now...if not a little more than two weeks...I also have PCOS. Had not had a cycle in 5-6 months and I too finally got it.

It's extremely frustrating I just keep telling myself it's just a stall...it will break soon...it's taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally at this point.

I got stuck at exactly 2:03 also! I started at 2:23. I stayed at 2:03 for what seemed like 3 weeks and then all the sudden I was down to 190! Hang in there, it will come off I promise.

Having said that, I don't know anything about PCOS. It doesn't sound fun. So sorry you both have that to deal with along with your surgery.

My last stall I went to Vegas and LA and traveled up the California coast to San fran. Ate like ****, didn't exercise at all and lost 12 lbs when I got back..lol

Sometimes you need to back off and let your body adjust I guess.

yup...Basically...I think all the walking I did combined with the slight spike in calories forced my body to let go of the stall. You can eat whatever you want, just not much of it thats for sure.

Yup, I love a good slice of pizza. I can eat a whole normal slice now, barely. I used to do 4 easy. Pizza was one food that I told my doctor if i could never eat again I wasnt doing the surgery. I was serious...

PS California pizza is TRASH...I ordered when we were in LA and the guy at the hotel recommended the place as the best around and I couldnt believe that called that crap pizza.

      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.
