There are periods in which you loose mostly inches and periods in which you loose mostly pounds, most of the time it's both. Make sure you are getting enough protein so you are not loosing lean muscle tissue.

I had the same thing happen and still do, my surgeon said that it is common during the first 12 weeks to lose inches and not actual pounds.

If you're exercising, you could be losing fat AND gaining muscle which weighs more than fat.
