I am so glad I found your Posts, I was feeling the same way. I had my surgery on 9-15-2011 and have lost 18 pounds, and was worried I was not losing enough but was working very hard every day . Watching what I ate and how much, working out regularly. Doing the right things but not getting the results others seemed to be getting. But now I am glad to know that I am fine in my progress, its not how fast I get there, just that I get there.
