I will be post op 3 weeks on tuesday, i lost about 16lbs the first week post op while on clears, a soon as i advanced my diet to puree, i gained like 3lbs and have been stuck at my +3lb weight for almost a week and a half! Im feeling really discouraged and starting to regret my gastric sleeve decision..

Virtually everyone stalls out at the third week post-surgery. Do a search here for "three week stall." You'll see. Going up a few pounds is not a big deal -- probably Water weight, constipation, some minor fluctuation. Keep following your plan faithfully and the scale will start going down again. You may want to stay off the scale for a few weeks if a stall is going to drive you nuts though!

PS losing 16 lbs in one week is crazy fast -- don't get discouraged if that doesn't happen again, as it is extremely unlikely.
