I have only lost 53 lbs. in almost 5 months.

I was considered a lightweight going into surgery. At 5 feet 8 in. I weighed 263 lbs. I had surgery on April l4th and to date have lost 53 lbs. I see by reading other posts that people are losing alot more than me. I have had a big problem with plateaus and I am on one now that has lasted about 3 weeks. Is this normal? I know everyone loses differently but it really has me bummed out. I thought I would be a lot thinner by now and I still feel fat. I guess thats another problem , I look in the mirror and still see a fat person although 53 lbs. are gone. I guess maybe I expect too much too fast. Any input will be appreciated. LOL, Maureen
