Concerns????

I want to start by saying that I enjoy reading the questions and reading the answers from the women and men that have already had wls or are further along in the process than I am. I am not going into this lightly and it has taken me a long time to make this descion . A lot of the time i don't even have to ask a question because someone else does or you answer it in such detail that it is not necessary. But here is my concern. I keep reading questions from other wls persons about how they are not losing enough weight, that 25lbs in two months is not enough I don't understand. I mean one of the reasons we are having the surgery is to lose weight sure, but I don't get the I'm not losing enough mentality. Half of them don't seem to be going by their doctors orders or better yet ignoring them all together ( which is very scary) and I think maybe some might just be excited and forget to write it down and don't want to bother anyone. (We've all been there) Again I am not going into this lightly and am not saying that anyone else has or is. I just have always thought of this as a tool not a quick fix. Because of my medical issues and because I LOVE FOOD I have not been able to do this another way. I have tried or I would not be in the position I am now. I would hope that people don't take major surgery and all the life changes that come with it for granted. I know that I am probably rambling on but it is really scary for a pre-op to keep reading questions about how come I am not losing enough. What should I eat. I am eating less than I am supposed to. Hummmmm!!!!!! Thank you for letting me vent and I am looking forward to reading and prabably having a questions of my own in the near future you guys are great! :)
