IS THIS NORMAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR RNY?

I AM 5 WEEKS POST-OP(TOMORROW). I WENT FOR A 1-MONTH CHECK UP AT MY SURGEONS OFFICE YESTERDAY. I HAD LOST 28 POUNDS. MY STARTING WEIGHT WAS 253. MY SURGEON DID NOT SEEM IMPRESSED AND SAID HE THINKS I AM A SLOW LOSER! I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST SINCE I HAVE FOLLOWED A PUREED DIET FOR THE WHOLE MONTH! HOW WILL I KNOW IF I AM A SLOW LOSER AND WHAT CAN I DO TO SPEED THINGS UP? I AM TERRIFIED TO EAT NORMAL FOODS FOR FEAR OF NOT LOSING! I WILL BE ON PUREED FOODS FOR 2 MORE WEEKS THEN I CAN EAT REGULAR FOODS. I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING JUST STICKING TO THE PUREED FOODS UNTIL I REACH MY GOAL WEIGHT. IS THIS ACCEPTABLE?
