Any advice or well wishes. I am totally frustrated and I feel like I want to cry.

Had surgery 2/28 and only down 27 lbs. What gives??? I've heard of the 3 week stall - but how long does that last? Is it you stall at 3 weeks or for 3 weeks you will stall?

I've been the same weight now for almost 12 days. I don't want to feel like I did this in vain.

I'm going into my 5th week post op. Nothing no budge no movement it's so heartbreaking to think this is it!

Thanks any help or advice.

The 3-week stall usually happens anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks post op and can last for up to 3 weeks or so. It sucks, but it's just your body reacting to all the mean sh!t that you've done to it lately. You just need to follow your plan and push through. You can do it!

you've lost 27 pounds in 3 weeks? I don't see the problem!

Also I was sleeved on 2/8 (almost 3 weeks before you) and I'm down 35 pounds.

I did have a 10 day at the beginning of week 3!

My surgery weight was 302 and I'm 279 now... so it's going slow - today I was down 1 lb. :)

27 is a great loss, I have the same surgery date and I've lost a total of 40 pounds but half was on the pre-op diet. I weigh tomorrow as I'm only weighing once a week. I'm happy with my loss so far. My surgery weight was 337.

ONLY down? Dude I was sleeved on 2/20; I’ve lost 23 pounds and I’m so happy with my progress! Today is 5 weeks out for me. Should I be feeling disappointed? I was thinking I was on track here!

Oh yeah and that includes my pre-op weight loss. So I’m down 17 pounds from surgery in 5 weeks. Now I’m starting to feel disappointment in myself. I’ve been strutting around feeling all sexy and self confident over 17 measly pounds.

No be proud! That's awesome and you know there's more to come!! (Well go lol). Yeah I started second guessing my post surgery loss for just a second, but yes we should definitely be proud!!

I am also a 2/20 surgery! I have lost less than 20 since surgery but I feel good so far. That is a great start!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
