Oh my goodness, where to begin!
With my plan (i know all are different), I was eating "mushies" two days after surgery. So my day consists of the usual. Jello, cottage cheese, scrambled egg, oatmeal, pea soup (and other soups), homemade guacamole (made by the best mother ever), laughing cow cheese, string cheese, and so much more. With at least 80 oz of water.
I eat about 4 meals a day. At barely 3 oz at each sitting. I am full after about 5 small bites so there is always some left. Crazy, i NEVER thought that would happen.
I have just recently (yesterday) started exercising. Mainly walking and resistance bands.
And thanks for thinking of me.

Did you lose anything preop? Unfortunately, a lot of that major initial weightloss is water weight and also the more weight you have on you, the more you have to lose before people notice. I think you'll be the last to notice. I still don't see it in my pictures when I put them side by side even though the first thing people say to me is "OMG, have you lost weight?!" I had lost 25ish pounds by Christmas and on that day there was no difference in my clothes or appearance at all. It made me depressed. You're only 3 weeks out. Give it some times and you will start to see a difference. Also, some people here don't lose numbers but they lose inches like crazy and some are opposite. I think I've lost more numbers and have kept my dang inches.
Either way both are going to come off for you.

Yeah, i figured the water weight was a big one. Kinda sucks.
I lost a whole 1 pound pre op. haha
Thanks for the advice! I have no sense of the word patience so i'm working on that. I do know it takes time and i'm willing to wait.
Those damn inches are mean!

I hope you have:
1) taken pre op photos
and
2) taken pre op measurements
Those helped me tremedously, and I do both every month (same poses for pics and same measurement spots).
If you haven't done those, start now. You will be glad you did!! Congrats on the loss
