21 days Post-Op & Plateau for almost 2 weeks! Help!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm hoping that some of you will be able to help me with my situation. I am 21 days Post-Op from having Lap RNY distal. The first 10 days I managed to lose 18 lbs however for the last 10 days now I haven't lost anything. I've increased my food intake so that I'm consuming about 800-1000 cal. a day and I consume at least 60 grams of protein a day as well. I've also increased my physical activity (walking). I did take my measurements and I'm down 23 inches but I'd like to kick start my metabolism and see these pounds come off. I started out at 360 lbs. & I now weigh 342 lbs. Needless to say I have a loooong way to go. I need to hear from you guys for suggestions like what you did to get the weight moving when you plateaued, or better yet how many calories, fat & protein grams I should be consuming at this stage. Is a plateau this early normal?I've decided that if my weight doesn't move by next week (Dr.'s appmnt) I'm going to go see a Nutritionist. I just really feel discouraged and disappointed right now and would really like to hear from you experts ;)
