I'm new, had surgery 3/9/09, so that's 16 days ago and I've only lost 5lbs.  I've lost a total of 14lbs if I count the week prior to surgery while I was on full liquids to prepare myself for the surgery.  I'm a little disappointed with my loss, but I'm following the proper guidelines - as hard as it is right now - so I'm sure it will come off.  I'm not exercising yet - I think my body just wants to hang on to this weight and I'm happy with 14lbs in almost 30 days. 

I think its awesome how you're doing!  Great loss!
