thought i'd lose more

I have lost 20 since the pre op and this is my third week too. I haven't weighed myself again because i  keep hearing about this 3 week stall. My clothes are fitting more loosly now and that makes me feel better. I have been having a sharp pain on the left side that doc says nerve pain so i am taking pain meds again and feeling pretty sleepy so i haven't walked as much as i have wanted to. I have 50 more lbs to loose  to get to my goal weight so im not in such a hurry. I don't weigh everyday either. Sounds like your feeling pretty good i would walk allot. I plan to walk as much as possible once im able now only doing 30 min a day!

You are probably retaining fluids and you aren't exercising as much as you will when you have healed more.  When your system gets back on track you should start seeing a difference.  It took me a couple of weeks to get there.

I think it's just your body going, what the heck is going on and trying to adjust.  My SIL and I both had surgery on the 19th and she was just saying she'**** a plateau.  I've heard of a three week stall and we are both right there.  Hang in there, it'll start up again!
