Are Frequent Stalls Normal???



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks out from surgery and I am starting to realize that I will lose weight, then stall, then lose weight, then stall, etc. etc. Is stalling constantly just a normal part of this process???

I had surgery June 13. I stalled from June 30-July 14. Then from July 21-whenever this second stall finally breaks. 😂

It’s extremely frustrating. I know several people who have success breaking stalls by essentially eating crap for a day then getting back on track. That also worked for me during my weight loss attempt prior to surgery. But I’m not really interested in introducing crap this early, even if it’s just to see if it breaks the stall.

Guess I’ll just ride this one out like the first one.

All this is to say you’re not alone. Frequent, early stalls are happening to me too.

I’m 7 months out and have stalled for the last 3 months. Started 275 currently 198. Lost majority of my weight the first 3 months now I’m stuck here and am barely starting to work out to lose what left. My goal weight is 175 so I’m pretty close

I’ll be 9 months out next week. Stalls seem to be fairly normal. My weight loss looks a lot like sillykitty’s. I’m currently in a nearly month long stall of bouncing between 146.4 and 148.8. It’s driving me crazy but I know it’s temporary. I’ve been amping up my workouts and changing my cardio in an attempt to break it. Fingers crossed!

Stalls are hella frustrating but remember to look at the big picture and not focus on the day to day. I know it’s hard to remember when you’re in the mist of it but keep your chin up.

I always stall. My current trend is drop 3-5lbs over 3 days, stall for 5-7 days, drop 2-3lbs over 3 days, then stall for 7-10days, then repeat!

      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. 🤞
