Plateau's a regular thing early on?

I just had my sleeve surgery 3 weeks ago tomorrow and my weight stayed the same from day 3 post op to day 7 and now it has been the same for the past 6 days. I would have thought that i would drop a pound at least every couple of days. I'm down only 13 pounds since my surgery day. Is this normal?
So normal that if you use the search function you will find literally hundreds of posters with this same worry.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
Totally normal.
This is why I use TrendWeight to track my weight, otherwise the little stalls would drive me batty.

I need to start weighing just once a week. I'm just scared I will have gone through this and only lost a little weight. Thanks guys!
Normal....Normal...Normal. I weigh everyday, but only record once a week. Also record monthly on my surgiversary. Helps me to see the bigger picture of what is happening.
