I had the sleeve on 7/29/09 - and have only lost 18lbs -Is this normal?

I am approaching my 4th week and have been eating soft foods, like mashed potatoes, chicken and noodles etc. Am I throwing my wieght off by eating this or is 18lbs a reasonable amoun to have lost. Not sure what to expect. Thanks!
