Bloated and not losing?...

I've been doing SB for 11 days now.  I cheated once on Tuesday night of this week, but not at all since.  I may be down 1 or 2 pounds, but that's it.  My scale is pretty bad, so hard to tell the exact weight.   TOM is also gone as of about 3 days ago.  But yet I constantly feel bloated and like that's why I'm not losing.  I'm not overdosing on sweets, nuts or cheese and am not constipated either.   I am drinking tons of water.


Is this normal?  Am I doing something wrong?  Here is a sample menu:


breakfast:  2 spinach quiche cups (yummy!), 6 oz. can of V8 and coffee with a little skim milk


snack: 1 low-fat Mozz. cheese stick.


lunch:  Turkey chili over salad (no dressing)


snack: 20 pistachio nuts and sometimes a few roasted chickpeas if I'm still hungry


dinner: some sort of stir-fry chicken breast with olive oil, lemon juice, veggies and whatever else SB friendly things I feel like putting in.


snack:  Sugar-free fudge bar, little bit of natural peanut butter and yogurt mixture.


Is this ok?  I don't understand why I'm not losing.  I have about 35 pounds to lose, so something should be coming off after 11 days.  Thanks!
