    Seriously? I was not told anything at all about hair loss, as long as we eat enough protein. Perhaps your body is just adjusting to your new pouch and the hair loss will stop. I sure hope it will! All the best.

    Track your intake if you don't already. I did not stall but I slowed down quite a bit at 3 weeks. I slowly increased my calorie intake and the weight loss started moving quicker. Like others have said the less you have to lose the slower it will take. As far as exercise I do minimal but the days I walk I notice a much larger loss the day after. I only walk right now and can't walk for long distances or long amounts of time due to back and hip issues so even if you do small amounts you still benefit. Good Luck, You'll be fine.

    PPmom- this is funny bc not only am I in the same boat as you but my numbers are exactly the same! I was 196, dropped to 194 for a day or two & for 3 weeks I was at 196. I don’t exercise (yet, I joined a new gym that opens in sept) . I was also sleeved In July. I just stick to the plan & keep doing what is recommended & finally the scale budged after 3 weeks & yesterday I was down to 192.5. The less weight you have to lose it will be harder/take longer. Just know if you’re doing what you’re supposed to then the scale/your body will eventually catch up!
    Good luck

    The less weight you have to lose, the slower it will seem to come off.
    Seems like you are doing fine with how far out you are vs. how much weight you want/need to lose.
    Pouch “resets” are usually for people trying to get back on track some years after a weight loss surgery, and likely after some regain.
    If you keep eating right and working your program, the weight will come off but in its own time.
