4 Weeks Out: Pre-Op Visit

I had my drs visit yesterday - I'm 4 weeks out and I really felt good when I left his office.  First, he told me I'm doing great with the weight loss, I've reached 28% of my goal so far and he gently reminded me NOT to compare myself to anyone else...He told me one of the most common mistakes wls patients make is to compare themselves to others and I laughed because I just did that.....Also, he reminded me that the important things to focus on is protein, liquids (H2O) and exercise.  I 'thought' the weight would simply fall off  (wishful thinking) but as he explained I'm really doing it the right way --an average of 1.5 - 2 pounds a week.  I wanted to share this with those who might feel that they are not losing fast enough because 2 days ago I was one who felt the same.  

great...
