Frustrated because of stalled weight loss



Recommended Posts


I was told to be patient because a stall is normal so I assume your situation is normal. Keep up the good fight!



Ok and I hope it improves very soon

As everyone else said— stalls suck and happen. I near lost my mind during mine [emoji51]

Hang in there— drink TONS of Water and walk . It comes off and kicks in- promise

I thought the dietitian would have been a great source to help with the problem! I guess we just have to muscle through it! Smh

Yes all she did was give me a copy of a sample menu & told me to not eat more than a 1,000 cal per day! But I noticed this cute little small plate that was divided into 3 section. I asked her about it, first she told me she bought it from target & then told me that that plate can hold 1 cup of food which is what my entire meal should be for each sitting! that was a encouraging reminder so she did help a little!

I hear there are expected stalls:

3 week stall

3-4 month stall

6 month stall

9 month stall

Maybe you are just in one of those stalls? I'd probably be tempted to go back to posting religiously and weighing and measuring to make sure I'm not eating more than I think. I also would try reducing cals by 10% and upping my Protein portion of my day just to see if that helps. If it doesn't, then I'd maybe try the opposite! I'd try adding 100 more calories of protein to the day.

Sorry you're stalled. They SUCK so badly! ((hugs)) Congrats on your success!!!

Mine happened at 2.5 weeks. I was stuck at the same weight +/- a pound for 10 days. Almost lost my mind! Finally broke through yesterday and have lost 5lbs in 2 days.

Hey, I'm in the same situation as you. I had surgery on Feb 28 and my surgery day I was 212lb, I lost 12 lb in the first two weeks, but then I just lost two more lbs. It's quite disappointing when you're doing everything well, but probably this stalls happens with almost everybody. The thing is keep working hard :) Good look in your journey!!

      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.
