Totally normal! If you gain more than 5 pounds, THEN you are doing something wrong. At this point your body is adjusting and healing. You are very swollen and Water retaining right out of the gate, so you're going to lose mostly water weight right away. You might not see major results for a month or so, you have to let your system adjust to the change. Plus, when you are doing strictly Fluid, your body may go into starvation mode and may hold onto weight (NOT everyone!). Once you start moving more (walking), the scale may move in your direction and when you start eating more than just Protein, you may see a more significant change there as well.

Don't get discouraged, I hear that if you lose it slower, your chances of keeping it off are better, and that you may not lose as much hair as someone that loses weight very quickly. Hang in there - it's going to happen for you! :)

Im 15 days post op: I thought the same thing - that is was coming off too slow, then bam another 4 lbs dropped off. I only weight myself 2X a week now, so I don't feel discouraged.

Im 3wks post op. i lost 8 pounds the first 2 week and now i havent moved for over a week!, but i figure that my body is in shock and im sure eventually ill start losing again! I take it one day at a time! So no worries we will get there!
