Why would I not be losing pounds?

The morning of my surgery I weighed 333 pounds. I am about two months post-op and have only lost around 27 pounds. However, I have lost plenty of inches. For example, I have gone from a (selective) size 28 dress size to a size 20 dress. I've gone from a size 26/28 top to a 16/18 and a pants size 28 or 30 to a size 24. No one can believe that I've only lost 27 pounds. What gives? I am (mostly) meeting the protein guidelines set forth by my surgeon/dietician, drinking my fluids, and exercise as my schedule permits. Anyone else had this experience and know how to deal with it? Anyone have suggestions for getting the pounds to go? Any info would help. Thanks!!
