Default A surgeon's expectations

Hi, everyone!

I saw my doc for my 4 mth post-op yesterday and he told me he expected to see me at under or just over 200 lbs when he sees me in another 4 months. He said he was setting the bar kind of high but he thought I could do it with increased exercise. I've been lacking in that area; I was walking almost 2 miles a day until it got so cold here.

But, can I really expect to lose another 55 lbs in just 4 mths? Or is he just trying to play a psychological game with me?

He said that that I've currently gone beyond goal/expectations for my 4 mth period. Maybe he's afraid I"m going to slow down now and he wants to push me; I just don't know.
