Want to hear from 5'4

Today I'm 2 months out from RNY surgery, which was very proximal (just 80 cm bypassed). I started at 222 pounds and today am 28 pounds lighter, at 194 pounds (on my scale). I'm down from a 2x to a large on top, and from a 24 to an 18 on bottom. I feel really good about it, even though the weight loss may seem small to some. I realize that I am about 1/3 of the way to my goal, so I'm happy about where I am. (I'm pretty big boned, so my doctor's goal for me is between 137 and 151 pounds; I'd like to get to between 130 and 140). <br> I'm interested in whether other "lightweights" who had lost "small amounts" at 2 months have made it to their goals. Is my goal realistic?
