The stalls are the worst not to mention when you’re period starts and the bloating/retaining water weight happens. You’re videos are so helpful. Please continue to post them.
Something I’ve discovered that helps with bloating is using castor oil…I’ve been using it on my stomach and below my stomach and I see a difference already helping with bloating
I wanted to let you know how much this video has helped and reassured me this morning. I saved this 6 months ago after just having a gastric sleeve procedure so I could rewatch. Well here I am 6 months post op, 90lbs down and hit a stall for 3 weeks now. Listening to you again this morning Karen has put everything back into perspective and I WILL just TRUST THE PROCESS 💜🇬🇧
Thank you!! Tomorrow is one month for me, and I wanted to throw myself a pity party because I haven't lost as much as my surgery sisters. But this journey is mine! I can't compare to people who are so different from me! The scale will move when it's ready and I just have to accept it!
OMG I'M GOING THROUGH THIS RIGHT NOW!! 😭😭😭. Haven't lost a pound in weeks and im just a little over 2 months post surgery. My endocrinologist told me to not panick, and to just make sure i have enough protein and healthy fats first. I only lost 11 pounds after surgery and it drives me mental! lol. She said it's better to lose a bit at the time and that she doesn't want my body to go through "starvation" mode. I'll keep my fingers crossed. 🤞
Thanks so much for this! I just had VSG surgery 5 weeks ago and everyone keeps telling me I look smaller and I can tell my clothes are fitting much better but the number on the scale hasn’t moved in weeks. I really appreciate this video so much.
at 8 mths out, not only did I hit a stall, I had an 8lb gain in a week. because I track, I knew my body was adjusting. I lost 4 of those pounds overnight and 1 pound the day after. I could feel the fluid I was retaining. This is why I track so I can have data knowing how my body ramps up and ramps down. Getting to know our bodies outside of just the number is really key to maintainig mental sanity. I'm with you on not restarting the liquid stage - that's the equivalent of a crash diet. Why are we going back to the drastic stuff. We can't diet anymore. We don't eat enough to do a calorie deficiency thing.
This was very informational . I stalled around 3 weeks post op. Now 10 weeks post op and I’m still stalled . Highest weight 277. Pre op 264. Day of surgery 250 and now 237-238. Last week i hit 236 and i felt finally i broke my stall but 2 days later boom 238 again so i put my scale away cuz it’s really starting to bother me that i can’t move past 237. I have lost inches and clothes fit better but the numbers aren’t moving
I watched this video when i was mentally preparing myself for surgery. Had to come back to it now at 10m post op now that im on month 2 of my stall. Valuable information
This was sooo on time for me! I'm experiencing a three month stall. I also had a low BMI to begin with, so not a lotta weight to lose. I have about 30-40 more lbs to go!
Thanks for walking me off the ledge. I hit a stall and instantly wanted to go back to the liquid diet. I must be doing something wrong. Thank you I’ll keep pushing forward and stay on top of my liquids.
What I'm noticing in A LOT of vsg patients, they are gaining the weight back plus more . Most people get the surgery, and continue eating junk food but expect to get skinny🤔. Nooo you have to change your whole mind set , food habits and all in order for the tool to work.
Thank you so much for this. I am 3 months post up and the scale 8s freaking me out so much I throw away the battery. One of my problems too is constipation.
I maintained 100lb weightloss, surgery date was 2012. During the pandemic I lost an additional 50lbs and was looking good, I also had another baby in 2019. After my office reopened and I went back to work full time, my weight started going back up and I regained the weight I'd lost during the pandemic. I put myself in a deficit, I work out 3xs a week and I'm focusing on protein and the scale hasn't moved in a month!! I don't wanna do keto again because you're right, the weight comes back so instead I'm doing low carb. Something has got to give! Finally made an appt with my nutritionist.
Soft food stall here! (Three week stall!) why did none of the bari staff tell me this because it is driving me absolutely MAD! I was going to give up! Best part is, your explanation totally makes sense!
I’m almost 7 months PO and I’ve been going crazy. I can eat so much more now even though I try to control it the fat demon inside me still takes over especially around my cycle. I suggest people seek therapy for their binge eating before getting it because it doesn’t go away. There would be times I hoped I developed an ED so that I could just stop. But I still found ways. It’s crazy. We are our own worst enemy
Hi Karen... I can't tell you how happy I am to have found you on here... I'm having mine tom the 31/1 /23 and you have helped me get prepared mentally and have helped me for everything after the surgery... Thank you Again... And you look amazing sis !!!
Hi. This was so helpful, I am 6 months post-op and am down 73 lbs. The scale IS evil! Thanks for talking about the stall and how to get through it. 🙂 Really appreciate this video. You look amazing btw.
@@yohanasolis8685 I’m about 2.5 weeks post op now and my pain is basically gone! The first week was brutal 😅 I also haven’t been great about getting proper nutrition (I’ve basically just been drinking water) so I’ve been exhausted and sometimes light headed. Getting my nutrition in check so I can feel even better!
I am 7 months post op and everything you mentioned about breaking a stall is absolutely accurate!! I stalled at 3 months and my longest stall was at 6 months post op. I’ve learned not to worry! I just keep moving. Staying consistent with your meals is a must!! Thank you for validating everything I’ve been doing!!
THANK YOU!! I was waiting for this one. I’m 5 weeks out and have been stalled for 12 days. I’ve lost 40 pounds so far so I’m trying to be patient but it’s hard. 😩
I'm two weeks out tomorrow, and I've been stalled for 3 days. In all honesty, it is stressful 🙃 but you have to mentally focus on maintaining good habits. Im trying to walk more. It's tough mentally, but I know it will pass. Thank you for another awesome video! 😁
I’m 7 months post vsg and have already been on a 3 month stall. My doctor said it’s too soon for my body to be doing that. But it is frustrating not seeing the scale move anymore. I’m glad I came across your video because I have seen it everywhere, where people say go back into the liquid diet 😬. I will not be doing that. I will try following some of the things you mentioned especially trying to drink more water.
Great video yes it’s the vitamin intake that I need to do better I had to tell myself I’m not broken after my 3 week stall..I can definitely see the difference trying on clothes vs seeing that scale..I gotta be my biggest cheerleader I’m learning..Thank you,VSG community y’all got this!!!
I’m on a 3 month stall. It’s frustrating. I’m so used to eating small now. I still have restriction when I try to eat more. I know my calories are under and that’s probably the reason. I also need to drink more water. Coming to my year anniversary soon. I have faith in myself and trusting the process that I’ll break this soon. I’m almost to ultimate goal. Just 10 more pounds.
Girl this video is right on time! Because I’ve been at a 3 week stall at 206lbs I’m so hard on myself but I haven’t worked out in 3weeks! Thanks for sharing! Your beautiful 😍
I just hit the 4wk mark lost 20lbs and have been stalled for a minute (more than 1 wk). Uggh it’s discouraging but then u hear others going through the same and it makes me feel better lol.
Thank you so much for this video. I am 10 months post op and have been stalled since 6 months and it’s very discouraging. I am ok where I am currently but would love to loss at least 25 lbs but I haven’t been the weight I am now since I was in my 20s (I am 42). Age is also a factor in weight loss it surely is a lot harder to lose weight when you are older. I am definitely going to take your advice
Thanks for this video, I was just on ig, thinking about DMing you about this topic. I lost 40 lbs then pause for 2 weeks, now 5 more gone. It was making me anxious
I'm almost 3 weeks past op and have been stalled since day 8. It's so frustrating but I'm trying to remind myself it's normal and not to panic. I'm going to put the scale away for now and enjoy the fact that I have to go down in size in my pants again.
Karen, 3 mins in and you are speaking to me! I’ll be 4 weeks post op Tuesday and I have definitely been in that 3 week stall starting at week 2 and you ARE RIGHT! It’s happened as soon as I got off the liquid diet which for my program was week 1. We got to bring eggs in week 2. But I’m trusting the process! I DEFINITELY am fitting clothes differently! Blazers aren’t as tight around my arms. My pants are bagger and I’m using a new hole on my belt buckle. Also major win, I went down a whole dress size for a bridesmaid dress I tried on a month ago and wore the smaller size last week.
What I also did was recheck my measurements. I was super upset during the 3 week stall (that I’m still in 😫) but I rechecked my measurements and my waist is down 5 inches since week 1!
I’ve not had my surgery yet… I’m scheduled for March (hopefully it happens then).. but I’ve done some research and had some discussions regarding stalls. Thank you for the info and transparency… even the TMI (kidding). It’s necessary!
Congrats on your journey. I have my 1st consultation scheduled for next month. Can I ask, did you have to wait 6 months before you got your surgery date?
Yeah, I was feeling a little sorry for myself, I’m 6 weeks post-op and my scale seems to have stopped and even moved up a couple of pounds. This is so frustrating, I guess I had a false sense of how this would go. I thought the weight would just be falling off and that hasn’t been the case. I’m sure it gets better, at least I hope it does!😒
The stall I’m at now is the weight that I would stall at when I was losing weight naturally. (215-220) 😅 So it’s really triggering! I would usually give up in the past BUT I’ve been strategically waiting to start in the gym until now! So it’s go time!
I'm 6 about to be 6 weeks and I'm on a stall I go to the gym about 2-3 times a week, but I'm horrible with my food and water intake, I feel like a failure like I broke my sleeve 😪
I hear that is normal !! Around a year it’s normal to have longer stalls since they say you lose most of your weight in the first year. From what’s I’ve heard it doesn’t mean you’re done losing weight , it just slows down after a year
I can't really tell if I'm stalling or not but it just doesn't look like I'm losing any rate it's been almost 8 weeks since I have my surgery and it doesn't seem like I'm losing anyway I can't tell if I'm doing anything right I've never been a consistent eater but I do try to get in all the protein that I need in a day but I cannot track my eating I'm eating certain things like oatmeal chicken fish and tuna but at first I don't think I was getting in enough liquids. It's really expensive trying to keep up with the protein shakes and vitamins. I want to eat regular food like I made some enchiladas for my daughter I really wanted to eat some would that be a problem since it's a corn tortilla and I've also been having craving for tacos which I actually ate one I just don't see that as being too fattening can I still eat stuff like that and lose weight as long as I follow my liquids and my protein
I found out by bmi and my daily expenditure even if I ate nothing and just had water based on what my body burns weightloss will be slow 😢 so sad the max I can lose is 1-2 pounds per week unless I workout with the minimal food I'm able to eat working out will just be a recipe for disaster only managing 500 calories per day I tried to go for a long walk and I was super exhausted nearly collapse lol I'm just dreading when my appetite comes bk how I will manage
No , if I’m not hungry I don’t eat. Unless I know I didn’t eat anything for the day and then I’ll have something even if I’m not hungry just to make sure I’m getting in proper nutrition. But that doesn’t happen often unless I’m busy.
You look great and sound strong. I’m waiting on my date. I’m looking for my self esteem back. Nutritionalist frustrates me. One she talks loud like I can’t hear and second I feel like she speaks down to me like my weight gain is all my fought. I’ve never been this large before. I gain weight after each major surgery I’ve had it stuck, stress anxiety bought on depression, I eat only because I have to or headache sets in or cravings. She’s young skinny white looks as if she has no worries in this crazy world. I hate having to meet with her in this journey because I find her so unrelated. She’s had no kids I’m not sure if she is married. I find it difficult to hear her in a positive and supporting way. Your sharing helps give me hope. I like your suggestion of setting eating times to do better at staying consistent as to when I eat. Communications with my body via my mindset to eat better in timing.
I’m almost finished. Endoscopy exam she see a node. Follow up ultra sound now then I’m hoping for a date. I’m tired. Started this process 2019 then accident (life). Now added weight and arthritis. Yet I’m moving to well.
I have been in a stall for two weeks. I have gained 6 lbs I am so frustrated. I am 4 weeks post opt. I am trying not to take it so hard but it really sucks.
You nailed it with all my fears abouts stalls. Good to know somwonw has gone through it and passed the vital information along. Definitely made my mind feel at ease. Love the saying trust the process! My fear is to not get near my goal weight before that 1 year is up or even in the middle of that first year but im barely 3 weeks post op. Thank you!
The big one for me is when you feel smaller but the scale doesn’t change
Happens to me all the time !! That’s when I try on some clothes that was too tight before , that always does the trick !
@@Thekarenwade😂😮
That is why I am going to start taking measurements!

Thank you!!! Im four weeks out and facing a two stall. I lost 30lbs so far and fear of gaining it back.
I love how clear and straight you are. You give the information I need, no more, no less. To the point. Thank you. You help. (I am 2.5 months out vsg)
Thank you !! 💕💕 I think that comes from me being a former 5th grade teacher lol I got used to explaining things as simple as possible 🥰

Just stay consistent and stay off the scale ! The scale will definitely move eventually if you are consistent
@@Thekarenwade thanks, I'll try. And congrats on your progress

Yess I needed this video I’m 3 weeks out and I had my period for 7 days and then I’ve been on a stall for almost 2 weeks
Same!!! Been stuck at 203 for going on two weeks.

Also avoid falling into the trap of grazing throughout the day.
What’s grazing
I'm 5days PO, and these videos are so helpful and just informative. Appreciate you for this
Thank you so much for everything you said 😢 I was secretly losing it and wanted to start eating less or starving myself again 💟
this video was so informative , thank you so much.
I just hit the 4wk mark lost 20lbs and have been stalled for a minute (more than 1 wk). Uggh it’s discouraging but then u hear others going through the same and it makes me feel better lol.

Hi. This was very encouraging. I'm 1 month out and I had the same problem.
Thank you so much!! I am in a stall and I am trusting the process!!! Thx again for this!! Very informative 🥰🥰🥰
You’re welcome 🥰🥰🥰 hoping your stall breaks soon 💕
Wow thank you for this everything you talked about is what I needed to hear. I'm one month out and I stalled 2 weeks after my sleeve. Thanks 😊
Stalls happen ! They are part of the process but don’t let them get you discouraged 💕💕💕
I'm almost 3 weeks past op and have been stalled since day 8. It's so frustrating but I'm trying to remind myself it's normal and not to panic. I'm going to put the scale away for now and enjoy the fact that I have to go down in size in my pants again.
Karen, 3 mins in and you are speaking to me! I’ll be 4 weeks post op Tuesday and I have definitely been in that 3 week stall starting at week 2 and you ARE RIGHT!
It’s happened as soon as I got off the liquid diet which for my program was week 1. We got to bring eggs in week 2.
But I’m trusting the process!
I DEFINITELY am fitting clothes differently! Blazers aren’t as tight around my arms. My pants are bagger and I’m using a new hole on my belt buckle.

I hear that is normal !! Around a year it’s normal to have longer stalls since they say you lose most of your weight in the first year. From what’s I’ve heard it doesn’t mean you’re done losing weight , it just slows down after a year
You are awesome!
Thank you ! 🥰✨
Thank so much for all your videos. You motivated me to document my journey. I am having different surgery but your content is so helpful.
Super helpful girl! Thanks!
Thank You So much❤❤❤
I'm 4 months post op and started working out 1 month ago, and am in a1 month stall 😔
I hope you stall has broken since then !
I can't really tell if I'm stalling or not but it just doesn't look like I'm losing any rate it's been almost 8 weeks since I have my surgery and it doesn't seem like I'm losing anyway I can't tell if I'm doing anything right I've never been a consistent eater but I do try to get in all the protein that I need in a day but I cannot track my eating I'm eating certain things like oatmeal chicken fish and tuna but at first I don't think I was getting in enough liquids. It's really expensive trying to keep up with the protein shakes and vitamins. I want to eat regular food like I made some enchiladas for my daughter I really wanted to eat some would that be a problem since it's a corn tortilla and I've also been having craving for tacos which I actually ate one I just don't see that as being too fattening can I still eat stuff like that and lose weight as long as I follow my liquids and my protein
Thank you.
Karen thanks for this video. Very encouraging❤
I found out by bmi and my daily expenditure even if I ate nothing and just had water based on what my body burns weightloss will be slow 😢 so sad the max I can lose is 1-2 pounds per week unless I workout with the minimal food I'm able to eat working out will just be a recipe for disaster only managing 500 calories per day I tried to go for a long walk and I was super exhausted nearly collapse lol I'm just dreading when my appetite comes bk how I will manage
Thank you 😊
I’m 3 months out and I’m stuck at 258 I need to lose 4 lbs
What if you are not hungry do force youself
No , if I’m not hungry I don’t eat. Unless I know I didn’t eat anything for the day and then I’ll have something even if I’m not hungry just to make sure I’m getting in proper nutrition. But that doesn’t happen often unless I’m busy.
Hi Was u dizzy your first 2 mons ?? I still sometimes dizzy I'm 7 weeks out
I wasn’t . But that could be due to dehydration
I have stalled the last two months (between months 4-6) and it’s so depressing. I finally starting losing again but what a waste of precious time. 😢
You look great and sound strong. I’m waiting on my date. I’m looking for my self esteem back. Nutritionalist frustrates me. One she talks loud like I can’t hear and second I feel like she speaks down to me like my weight gain is all my fought. I’ve never been this large before. I gain weight after each major surgery I’ve had it stuck, stress anxiety bought on depression, I eat only because I have to or headache sets in or cravings. She’s young skinny white looks as if she has no worries in this crazy world. I hate having to meet with her in this journey because I find her so unrelated. She’s had no kids I’m not sure if she is married. I find it difficult to hear her in a positive and supporting way. Your sharing helps give me hope. I like your suggestion of setting eating times to do better at staying consistent as to when I eat. Communications with my body via my mindset to eat better in timing.
Definitely see if you can get a different nutritionist ! You should be able to speak to a professional you can trust
I’m almost finished. Endoscopy exam she see a node. Follow up ultra sound now then I’m hoping for a date. I’m tired. Started this process 2019 then accident (life). Now added weight and arthritis. Yet I’m moving to well.
I have been in a stall for two weeks. I have gained 6 lbs I am so frustrated. I am 4 weeks post opt. I am trying not to take it so hard but it really sucks.
You nailed it with all my fears abouts stalls. Good to know somwonw has gone through it and passed the vital information along. Definitely made my mind feel at ease. Love the saying trust the process! My fear is to not get near my goal weight before that 1 year is up or even in the middle of that first year but im barely 3 weeks post op. Thank you!
“The Evil Scale” 😂🤣😂
Karen! Have you done your lips? You look 🔥!
Nope these are my natural lips 💕
@@Thekarenwade lucky you!!! beautiful!!!
I’m 6 months post op and haven’t lost more than a few pounds for the last 3 months…😮 I eat very healthy I don’t understand
I got like 40 ish to go. I want skin removal
So basically I need to be re- sleeved. Cause I’m 3yrs out only lost 125. I want to drop 65-70 more.
Manifesting that you will get to hour goal weight soon !! 💕✨
