How can I NOT be losing weight? I barely eat anything!

I am 11 days post-op, and haven't been eating a whole lot (or drinking for that matter). I'm not very hungry, but I've been trying to eat a little here and there (sometimes not making the best choices, but doing better now). I was really ecstatic to already have lost 13 lbs. by 6 days post-op, then gained back .4 lbs., and since haven't lost anymore! The scale hasn't moved in five days!!! I barely eat anything: as a sample, yesterday, my diet consisted of 6 bites of multi-grain Chex cereal, four bites of baby bananas, 1/4 c. refried beans, 6 bites of pot roast, 4 bites of mashed potatoes, 4 bites of applesauce and one Dole strawberry fruit and juice bar. Other days (except one) are very similar...I just don't understand how I could NOT be losing weight?! Is my metabolism THAT bad? I haven't started walking yet because i'm still dealing with a bit of incisional pain (pulling and burning), but i really thought that during the first five months the weight just kind of comes off whether you exercise or not. i'm feeling really disappointed and discouraged. Please help...it's affecting me to the point where i'm wondering why i had the surgery?
