I have seen this question before surgery and thought it was crazy

but now I too am experiencing it. I am almost 4 weeks post op and am very happy with my overall weight loss. But! for the past 12 days I have lost exactly 1 pound. Based on the theory of calories in - calories out = weight loss I should be losing at least a couple of pounds a week so this makes no sense to me, can someone explain it to me. If 1 pound a week is it then I am wondering why I did this because I can easily achieve a pound every 10 days without surgery. I eat 2 oz of food 3 times a day (70% protien,30% veggies)plus a protien snack in the evening that is about an ounce. I also drink at least 64 ounces of water. Can someone help me understand this?
