Is this normal?

Probably, but I wouldn't worry. Your body is still healing, and you may be on meds and have fluids from the surgery going through you. Also if you had a strict pre-op diet and lost weight, your body can be adjusting from that loss as well. Just hang in there, and try not to weigh yourself too often.

How many calories are you getting in? How much did you lose pre-op? If you're keeping your calories where they should be the weight WILL come off - it has no choice.
I have a girlfriend that had her VSG a month ago and hasn't lost a single pound. When I asked about her food journal she got defensive and said, "You can see it next week. I haven't been perfect..." Turns out "not perfect" includes daily brownies and not measuring anything, expecting her sleeve to do the work.
I should have caught on when she said,"I'm amazed at how much I can eat."

Sounds to me like you're doing just fine. Put your scale away somewhere for 2 weeks, do exactly what your plan says, THEN weigh ourself, k? Oh, and if you haven't done it yet - measure yourself.
My numbers discourage me sometimes, too. Then I remind myself that I'm down 5" from my bust, 3" from my waist and 6.5" from my hips. When I look at someone I see size, not pounds.
