What am I doing wrong?

I had my surgery (lap rny) on 11/10/03 and have not lost any weight in the past week. I have lost 18 pounds (not counting the weight I put on in the hospital) since surgery. I am so discouraged. I hear of all of the post-ops losing 30 or 40 pounds in the first month and I have not been able to get the scale to move in a week. I get in 60 to 80 grams of protein a day and drink water until I feel like I am going to float away. Is there anything else I should be doing that I am not or am I just going to be one of those slow losers? I really thought I would have lost at least 25 or so pounds by now since I am only eating a tiny fraction of what I was before surgery. I also am walking 2 miles a day and riding a recumbent bike for 3 miles.
