Hey all! So happy I finally hit Onderland! A little concerned though on the slowness of my progress. I had surgery 3 weeks ago and I've only lost 15 pounds. Still having trouble getting all the protein and water in but Doing much better than I was before. For almost a week the scale did not budge! How do I get that scale moving!! Any and all advice is appreciated! HW 245. SW 215 Cw 199

First of all, congrats on your surgery and weight loss!! Great job! secondly, @innersurfergirl is gonna get you Hahahaha. 15 pounds in three weeks? That is five a week. That is great!!!!!!! It will come off.

You've got the painting upside down. Turn it right side up and you'll see that losing weight is weight loss. Keep doing what you're supposed to do and it will all come together. Enjoy the fabulous trip you've been having. Never minimize a gift.

I had surgery on December 29th. My weight was 223. I'm 214 as of this morning. I'm freaking out, I tried for like 6 months- hard core diet - and I was able to lose like 14 pounds in that time. The fact that almost ten has slipped off in 2 weeks is AMAZING. There's no way I'll be over 200 for long now. You should be celebrating your 15 pound victory girl!! 15 freaking pounds is like 6 months of weight watchers/gym work. Lol!! Congratulations!!!!! You already know what to do... Get that water/protein in. We're not well enough yet to hit the gym. Walk if you can, but don't be upset by your "slow weight loss" you're doing amazing...

If you think that's slow, you're in for a rude awakening. Your weight loss is going to slow down even more after your stall is over. And yes, the stall will pass. It's normal and happens to everyone at around the same time after surgery, and there's nothing you really can do to hurry it along but ride it out. Just stay hydrated and make sure you're getting your Protein.

Try to keep your expectations about your weight loss realistc. You've done very well considering you started as a relative 'light weight'. I lost the same amount at 3 weeks out and I was heavier than you.

Congrats on Onederland!!

And listen to @@Babbs ... she knows what she is talking about!

My stats are very similar: sleeved on 12/14 with a surgery weight of 214. Weighed in at 194 of 12/24 and haven't lost since. Yes, a stall of sixteen days and counting. I'm being really patient but I admit I keep checking here to see if this is really going to keep going for much longer. I just keep thinking (hoping) it's giving my skin time to shrink.
