Please advise me on the first month after WLS...what can you eat?

I want to eat a variety of things- however, my weight to me is coming off very slow. I had my surgery Feb. 2008 and I've only lost 23 lbs. and I think it's not moving fast enough- so, I limit myself to what I eat. Is this normal too?
