Am I THE SLOWEST LOSER OUT THERE?

Help! I had my Lap RNY 4 weeks ago, on April 24th. I hate to sound like a cry baby, but why have I only lost 17 lbs in 4 weeks. Yes, I am thrilled that I have lost any weight, and it is 17 lbs. that I WOULDN'T have lost without the WLS, but c'mon! I am excercising regularly at my gym, and eating about 600 calories per day, sometimes a bit more. Getting in the protein, getting in the water, etc. Is this just because I am 5'7" and weight 214 lbs.? I mean, that IS obese, but not "morbidly obese". I expected a bit slower a rate of loss than most on this site, but at only 4 weeks out it has slowed to 1 pound per week and that is S L O W!!! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
