Why can't I lose like everyone else does?

I am 10 weeks post-op and I feel like I've spent most of the time on a plateau! I lost 22 lbs. my first month but only lost 8 the 2nd month. So far I've only dropped about 5lbs this month and I'm really getting frustated! I don't have problems with any kind of foods and try to watch my portion sizes but don't have problems with that either. I'm exercising but could be doing more of that. Why is my weight loss so much slower than others? I feel like I'm doing things right but the weight won't come off of me. Was I just hoping for too much of a miracle. I started at 235lbs and am down to around 200lbs. and still have a long ways to go yet. I wouldn't think that it should be slowing down this soon! Does anyone have any magical suggestions for me? Oh yes and I am drinking more than enough fluids and getting plenty of protein daily. HELP!!!!
