Does this sound like a stall?

Well, I’m 16 days out and I’m wondering if I have encountered my first stall. Now I know what all the drama is about. Even though I said I wouldn’t weigh every day, I lied, and have enjoyed watching that scale move down a pound every day. It was a wonderful thing. The last few days, I’ve been at a stand still and of course, I immediately said “is that all I’m going to lose? Is sleevie broken?” Still trying to remain calm, but hoping that scale will move soon.
I haven’t been having any real problems. I’ve been sticking mainly to pea soup with chicken pureed in and also tomato soup with Italian sausage pureed, yogurt, applesauce, grits. Sleevie seems to like most things. The only trouble I’m having is lunch time. Yesterday, I had to run to the ladies room. I didn't throw up, but the nausea was right there. I think I am eating too fast. Once the lunch crew comes in and we all start gabbing, I think, no, I know that I am not slowing down in between bites. I definitely have to work on that. Not really sure of pounds lost, but I think I may be at 20.
Next post op appointment is on Monday. Congratulations to those recently sleeved and those yet to be. Hang in there to those of us already sleeved.
