Post surgery struggles



Recommended Posts

I was told a plateau in weight loss is really normal. I’ve read to just give it a little time and you’ll start to see the lbs drop again :-).

Recommendations are to up your exercise just a little bit to boost yourself. Just keep doing what you’re supposed to and you should start to get right back on track.




That is what I have heard as well. I feel like this plateau is lasting a bit longer than it should. Trying to pinpoint it I am doing something wrong (which as someone else suggested it might be my eating habits) or it my body is too upset about losing the lbs to let go lol. Started up the gym this past week. Feels great!

Weight loss isn't linear. It's hard to accept that, cuz stalls suck!
You've lost about 2.67lbs per week. Average loss post surgery is anywhere between 2-4lbs per week. My doc says don't fret. In the end, everyone gets there around a very similar time. The ones that start early with a bang really taper off about midway and the ones who are slow and steady eventually catch them.
Hang in there. Find a good plan online. There are so many you can Google and read about--one that works for you and then come here and post often! Also, I second books like Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies, etc.

Thank you for the book suggestion. I definitely need that book lol. This is harder I anticipated but it is everything I expected it to be. I feel like my stall is a bit lengthy at the moment. Trying to pinpoint what exactly is going on.

I love all of your posts by the way! Very informative and make me laugh at the same time. Thank you :).

      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. 🤞
