I, too, thought the weight would drop off me. I don't think the psychologist at my center - or anyone else for that matter - mentioned that it just doesn't happen that fast. Then you read about these people losing 30 lbs their first month on internet forums and you assume that happens to everyone. Nope....

interesting, a big part of the time during my psych eval was spent on making sure I had "realistic" expectations.

I've lost 3 pounds since surgery last Wednesday. Surgery was last Monday. One of my friends asked me what I was doing wrong to "only" lose 3 pounds. I looked at him and just started laughing. When he asked what I was laughing about I said "when was the last time that you saw this fat man lose 3 pounds?". He said well never I guess. My response, "exactly".
