Worried
OK....are you serious? 20 lbs???? That is pretty darn awesome. MsBatt is right. Stop comparing. Your body is doing what it is supposed to do. Give yourself a break. I didn't start feeling or see a difference until about the 40 lb mark. 2 weeks....that is NOT a long time....you have the rest of your life!
I don't own a scale but did lose 20# out of the gate at my first exam since my surgery. By the time I had my second exam, I was gradually eating solid foods and had lost only 1#. I was not concerned about the weight stall and neither was my surgeon. I eventually went on to lose more than 100#. Although I am not at "goal", I have managed to keep it off.

Has not weighed myself since 1/2010. Letting my clothes gauge my progress instead.
20 pounds is an awesome accomplishment. Just follow the rules and you body will do what it needs to do. You may be slower then some and faster then others.
I had a revision from RNY to DS and I was tld it's much much slower for us. Well not me. I lost almost all my weight in the first 7 months. But nothing for the last 2 which gets me to the 10 pound a month average.
My point is we all end up in the same place. Your trip will be yours and yours alone.
