3 weeks out...is a plateau normal at this point?

I had my RNY on 4/9/15.  I lost about 9lbs pre-op liquid diet 4/2-4/9.  I have lost a total of 30lbs total since 4/2.  My question:  I haven't lost anything in 5 days now, is that normal?  I'm struggling a bit getting in my full water/protein numbers, but get better each day and I make sure to walk.  I track everything in my FitBit and I'm essentially eating straight protein (mostly canned seafood, deli meat, cheese, Premier Protein shakes, Isopure clear drinks)....no straight carbs or fruit.  I guess I find it odd to get stuck so soon and wonder if this is normal?

Thanks all!

Look up 3 week stall in the magnifying glass upper right hand corner.  Stalls are very common early on and as the weightloss progresses. 

Thanks much....didn't think of that!

I actually stalled two weeks after my surgery.  Stay the course, exercise, eat what you are supposed to and the weight WILL come off.  Be patient with yourself, and enjoy your journey!

I stalled between weeks 3-6 and boy was it frustrating.  Thank goodness for the folks on OH that kept me positive and reminded me it was only temporary.  Scale started moving drastically at week 7 and the whole time I was doing the same thing.  Keep the faith - it will move!

Thanks for the positive.  Love this site...amazing helpful people and information!

It sounds like I am doing the same thing you did. I am today at 7 weeks and just the past few days did I start seeing the scale move again since I was 3 weeks out. I hope I am on the down move now!!

I am 7 weeks out right now and yes I saw a stall that started around week 3 and just in the past few days have I started seeing the scale move again!!! Praying it will start moving fast now!!

Good for you!  Keeping me optimistic too.
