Thank yall for posting this...I was having the same problem some what, I am 4 weeks out and I am down 33 pounds. I was a little nervous because I lost 20 the first week and then nothing on weeks 2 and 3. Then 13 in the last 7 days. Glad to know that is somewhat "normal"...

I have had no trouble with eating ANYTHING and I am four weeks post op! I confess that I have tried to eat my "bad" cravings in hopes that it would make me sick so I would no longer crave them. I have eaten cheeseburgers. I eat carbs more often than I should. I have eaten fried fish. They went down easy and did not make me sick. FAIL! I confess that I have started taking asprin again (as a preventative for blood clots, because I have a history of blood clots). I can't stand the puree foods. I have never gotten all my Water and protein in. I did not lose any weight weeks 2 and 3 post op, but did lose 13 pounds the last 7 days (total of 33 pounds since surgery). I weigh myself every time I walk by my scale.
