1 month after surgery

Is it normal to go 10 days without losing anything at all?  I walk 2.5 miles a day and eat what I can, which isn't much, and have a protein shake to get the rest of my protein in.  Just wondering if that is normal.  Before that I was losing 1.2 Lbs. a day.  Today is 4 weeks post surgery.

The fact that you're walking that much a day is awesome. During the period of weight loss, you may hit a plateau when you notice you are not losing pounds. Your body needs time to adjust to the chemical and biological changes that occur during weight loss. If you are eating right and exercising the weight loss will resume.

I understand you hit a plateau, but just 4 weeks after surgery??  That seems too soon.  I was told by someone on the facebook page that there is a "week 2 slump" that the surgeon should tell you about but they don't, which is my body getting used to so fewer calories, it is fighting to retain them.  That sounds more plausible than hitting a plateau so quickly.  But I am happy for any input.

I hit about a 5 day mini stall in week three.  but by the end of week 4 we were rocking and rolling again.  I also do that level of exercises so perhaps this is normal?
