I am 7 weeks post op today and I am not losing much weight.

At 3 weeks I had lost 14 lbs and today at 7 weeks I have only lost a total of 22 lbs. I am 5' 2" and started at 228. I am eating very little, mostly meats to get my protein, but I find that every time I eat I feel like the food gets stuck in my chest. I feel like I have a lump stuck right between my breats. I am so discouraged and not sure if I am doing something wrong or if i might have a medical problem. I did mention the food stuck problem at my 3 week check up and the doctor told me this could not be surgery related as nothing was done that high. I do have a hiatal hernia but I always had problems with acid backup not a stuck problem. Anyone out there had this problem??
