4 wks postop and already at a plateau for over a week....

Why is this happening? I have lost 9-1/2 inches according to my measurements and I am happy about that. Should I be concerned? I have only lost 18 pounds since surgery on June 18th. Others who had the surgery the same day and a week AFTER me have lost 25-35 pounds. I have to make myself eat 3 times a day and am still on a soft diet. Eating good protein foods, no junk foods. Drinking over 64 oz of water. Trying to walk when it's not so hot that it makes me sick. I'm getting discouraged. My doctor has had 100% of his patients lose their weight and of course I'm thinking I'll be the one who doesn't. I haven't lost any weight since July 5th. Today is the 15th. Should I be worried?? Is there a reason why I'm losing inches fine, but not pounds? Thanks.
