I have a question for those of you that have had your band for a while. What is your average weight loss a month?

After my initial loss of 39 pounds the first 2 months, I consistently lost 8 pounds a month for the first year.

I have lost 42 pounds since surgery (plus 10 pounds on the pre op diet), so my average would be about 6-7 pounds a month.

I am averaging 6-10 lbs a month but I'm only on my 4th month and not yet at my sweet spot.

My doc says the average is around 5 lbs a month.

The first 6 months I'd say I averaged about 8-9 lbs a month but then hit a major plateau and fought the same 3-5 lbs for almost 2 months - bringing my overall average down to like 7.65 lbs a month. Either way - I seem to have FINALLY broken through the plateau... yippee! :D

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
