 oh no nobe...no way for a one month out VSGr.  6 months out and further. Your body hasn't reached homeostasis/adjusted to surgery/healed completely  till around 6 months out. 

Are you havin that 3 week stall?  Its very common. and not a stall ya can break because of dietary restrictions ..follow your dietary guidelines. ...ya gotta wait this one out Nobe ...your body is going thru major shifting and changing. You will see it in INCHES lost not so much pounds lost....thats why its sooo important to keep measurement logs on ya...a week before or after surgery ..measure yerself head to toe..foot width too then once a month thereafter..you'll see at 3 weeks post op yer losing inches already!! not pounds..Those measurement numbers are concrete evidence your sleeve is indeed WORKING!!  Keep positive! This stall will pass!

Other classic stall periods on my stalls n plateaus blog link on my original post above. A kinda heads up on what to expect your first year ok!
