If you search for "three week stall" on this website, you'll actually find thousands of posts on this topic. It's apparently very common for weight loss to stall sometime around the three week mark. Below is an online post that I found on this topic from a bariatric clinic:

If you’ve done your reading on gastric sleeve weight loss plateau, you may have heard of the “3 week stall”. The 3 week stall refers to a pattern that many bariatric patients experience, in which their weight loss plateaus at the 3 week mark following their procedure.

As mentioned earlier, weight loss stalling is relatively normal after gastric sleeve surgery. 3 week stalls may be caused by a variety of reasons, namely that the body is working out the best way to adjust to the new stomach sleeve and dramatic weight loss. Often the first few weeks of repaid weight loss is a combination of water, muscle and fat. However, long-term fat loss results will take time, after some inevitable bumps in the road.

If you’re wondering “how long does the 3 week stall last?”, it really depends. It depends on your body, the food you’re consuming, the exercise you’re undertaking and how your body adapts. For some, the 3 week stall will last for a few days or a couple of weeks. Others may experience the plateau for longer. For more information on how to break a weight loss plateau after gastric sleeve surgery, you’re going to need additional support from your weight loss clinic. It’s important to consult with your doctor before making any drastic changes to your diet or routine.

I hope this is helpful and reassuring. Good luck as you continue on your journey!
