Stalls are very common. Even stalls that last weeks. Stick with your program, be patient. Nothing has gone wrong.

I’m in a stall right now. I’ve had 3 of them and my first was just after week two of surgery. Just think logically. You are eating way fewer calories. The weight will eventually come off.

I stalled for about three weeks. At first I didn’t care much because I’ve been told and from reading different post here, that there will be stalls. But, I’m happy to report that after five days of eating leaner and four consecutive days at the gym ...I got that scale moving again & was down four lbs this morning!

Stalls are funny. My weight has dropped pretty fast in my Eyes. I had my operation 9/13/2017, and its funny , I still weigh my self everyday like an excited little kid! Some days I will lose weight, some days I'll be up a little, and sometimes for a week, ill be about the same weight, then bam the next day, ill be down 2 -3 more lbs, its been a very good transition! I havent experienced any of the dumping syndroms, or anything as of yet.

I think the weird thing at this point for me, is feeling my bones, in my shoulders, my hips, and my ribs. Also the other thing I really enjoy, is seeing someone that hasnt seen me since my surgery, and cant belive I'm the same person!

Cheers - Dennis

I will be one week post-op gastric bypass and cholecystectomy tomorrow. I have lost one pound. I choose to not get upset because I KNOW it will come off. I’m following my instructions. My body is healing. Stalls are temporary. Don’t get discouraged.

Just remember that stalls can be caused by your body "recalibrating" itself. If you are still getting your Water in, you are sticking to your diet and you are getting your exercise... then it's nothing YOU are doing wrong, it's just your body taking some time to figure things out and make changes. Also, muscle weighs more than fat, so any exercise that's increasing your muscle mass is going to offset any fat loss. Just keep marching forwards and things will work out.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
