Did I make the right decision?

Hi, I had surgery 12-03-13 and was very excited. I read all the sucess and said this is what i wanted. It has been a month now and i only lost 10 pounds. I know everyone is different but people are losing 20 and plus within 10 days. I drink my liquids, i walk 30 to 40 minutes a day and try to keep up with my proteins but no weight loss. Here I am a month out and only down 10 pounds. Look i don't need anyone grilling me. I'm looking for support. Please tell me I'm not alone. I see my nutrition tomorrow but just wanted some people that are willing to share their experience.

I have been on this forum for ages it seems and have seen this question from many different people in different ways. It amazes me how our bodies are virtually alike but respond in such unpredictable and various ways.

10 pounds could mean a lot of different things. Metabolisms must adjust, fat goes down..muscle goes up, and unknown to anyone factors in our mind boggling complex bodies could be the culprit. If you compare yourself with super-fast losers 10 pounds is slow. In your case, given your set of circumstances and your body chemistry it could be ahead of schedule.

The preponderance of scientific data would suggest that if you keep doing the right thing for long enough, the excess fat will come off. Even a slow train reaches it's destination.

He's absolutely correct. I only lost 15 pounds and it was under a month.. I had Water weight from not having my menstruation. After that the pounds came off. In addition, you may be losing inches. Hang in there..
