3 1/2 weeks Post-OP, hit Plateau already? Is that normal?

I had a Revision surgery 02/01/08 and was converted from stomach stapling over to a RNY Gastric Bypass. At first I lost 1 -2 pounds a day, with a total so far of 21 pounds lost, but now the weight loss has stopped. For the past 8 days I have not lost even one pound. I am eating 2 ounces of baby food (chicken and chicken with vegetables) every 3 hours, and am sipping water and Crystal Light in between. I know people hit "Plateaus" but is it normal to hit one so soon after surgery? How long do they last? I am very upset and downhearted to be eating tiny amounts of baby food faithfully and not losing a pound for 8 days straight. Thanks for your answers and input!
