Lost 25 pounds at 1 week visit - now 3 weeks out no loss in 2 weeks

I am three weeks out today and when I went for my 1 week visit I had lost 28 pounds. Now two weeks later I have not lost 1 pound but have had small amounts of puree foods 4 - 5 times a day. I just dont know how you can eat so little and not lose anything. I didnt expect to plateau so early yet when I call the drs office they say not to worry about it. Then last week I had terrible pains in my stomach and in the sternum and they said it would be ok just do liquids a few days. Then this weekend my daughter who is in Med School said no mom thats a hernia - I have a large indentation and then a huge lump above it. I had it the day I left the hospital and the nurse said its just the incision and scar tissue growing. Grrrr I also have problems swallowing anything other than broth, jello and pudding and if I eat even soft noodles it feels like its stuck in my sternum and hurts so bad I want to die. Has anyone experienced this and is the NON weight loss normal???
