Has anyone else only lost approx. 7 pounds the first month and accomplished goal.

I feel like such a fool right now because I started at 250 pounds on January 3, 2002, which is when I had my surgery. I have been on purees and some soft foods for the past month, and have only lost seven pounds and am down to 243 pounds. Do you guys think that it's time to call my surgeon or am I right on target. I never had a mental problem, but my rate of weight loss is making me crazy. Please any and all answers would be appreciated as I'm worried that something went wrong during my surgery. I had a vbg with intestines bypassed so that it could produce dumping symptoms.
