 Hey Y'all....I am almost 1 month out from my Sleeve...I have lost 33 lbs. so far (YAY)..I have recently entered the "Solid Food" stage, so I am able to tolerate more food.....I have noticed that my weight loss seems to have slowed down in the last week, and I feel it's a little early for a "Stall", isn't it?? I'm 5' 91/2"  and weigh 274, so I still have a ways to go..... Could the increase in food ( 4 tbls. instead of 2) matter that much, or am I freaking out over nothing??

 Stick to your doctor's plan.  Stalls or not, it's just your body adjusting.

Here's my standard answer to "pauses" that everyone calls a stall:

A stall is something that last 6 weeks or more.  You are in a correction period.

Weight loss is like a teeter-totter....

On one side is pounds, the other inches....

If you stop going down on pounds, the inches will go down .  Are you measuring? 
Then the inches will slow and pounds will drop...


this is normal and NOT a stall, it's a correction period that your body uses to catch up.....
