I am really bummed.  Went to the doctor yesterday and found out I had only lost 4 pounds in the last 3 weeks.  I am 6 weeks out and thought I should be losing a lot more than that?  Could I be doing something wrong?

You're a little over 6 weeks post op and have lost 27.8 since surgery correct?  If so, that's an average of 4.63 pounds per week.  

Many of us are "step" losers.  We lose a chunk, then level off for a couple/few weeks, then start to lose again.  That's how I lose.  it drove me CRAZY at first.  Now I'm 4.5 months out and am growing to accept it.  

Hang in there and try to be patient with yourself enlightened

Nope.  You're not likely doing anything wrong.  Make sure you get your protein and water in - and that's all you can do right now.  It's just your body adjusting.  I think most people start out this way.  This will be one of many frustrating stalls.  It's just the way it goes.  The weight will come off. . . be patient!
