Congratulations and welcome to the losers' bench!  My best advice is not to focus on the scale early out.  Follow your surgeon's nutrition/exercise plan, and just let some time go by.  Pretty soon it will be five months since surgery and you will have lost a LOT of weight.  The three-week stall is likely to happen and should not be seen as ANY indication of failure.  Many of us lose in a stair-step kind of pattern...for me, that meant no loss for 7 to 10 days, then rapid loss of 4 or 5 pounds.  Some people are more regular in their loss, but you'll just have to see what your body does.

I believe if you go to Tools>Tickers and Widgets you can create a weight loss ticker.

Best of luck to you!
Jenny

 Welcome!   No great tips but just do what your doctor says.   I liked Unjury Chocolate with a little Benefiber to keep me regular.   You will be amazed as the pounds start to drop.   I'm 7 weeks and I just lost 30 -- I'm thrilled.   I'm eating almost like a normal person (i.e. I can eat what I cook for the family just in a much smaller portion and without some of the carb sides).

Good luck!
