I am just curious on everyone's weight loss around the 2-3 month mark? At 2 months I lost 42 pounds. I am starting to slow down on losing the weight and wondering if this is normal.....

I do not remember my BMI, but I just went for my 6week post op and only lost 27 pounds. I am very discouraged, although the nurse did say, that does come to 4-5/week. Most of it, was all the first month. It has definitely gone slow. Though I have seen a very big change is clothes size (usually a 24 or maybe a 22) and just bought a 16W in jeans. That DID feel real good. (Sorry, I don't know how to put a tape ticker on.) Guss the good thing is that at least I know I won't gain.

im 3 months today and down -40 LBS. Im a slower loser than some on here but anytime ive dieted it came off slow so im happy.

Day of surgery my BMI was 46. 2 months post surgery I had a loss of 35 lbs.

I am now 11 weeks out and am down 41 lbs. I feel like my weight loss is a little slow. But I'm happy nonetheless. My tickler below reflects the 21 lbs I lost pre surgery

Also off the topic I feel like I can eat way MORE than the average "sleever'. Went to a support group at Kaiser last night and a friend of mine can not even eat 1 scrambled egg. Where as I can eat 1 scrambled egg, 2 pieces of turkey bacon and 1/2 a piece of toast! yikes! . . . such a big difference and we are both 11 wks post surgery.

I lost 15 lbs prior to surgery. Sleeved 11/30 - I'm 6 weeks out & down 30 lbs for a total of 45 lbs since I stepped foot in my doctor's office.

I’m barely 2 weeks and 5 days out and I’ve lost 32 pounds these past 2 weeks is it normal to go that fast?

At week 8 I was down 30lbs from 256 sleeve weight and 37lbs from highest weight.

A lot depends on where you started from Miguel, higher the weight the more folk are expected to lose. It’s about % loss rather than pure pounds.

E.g. at 6 weeks I had lost 25% of my excess weight (weight over ‘normal’ BMI for my build).

Here’s a link to a look at https://www.obesitycoverage.com/weight-loss-surgeries/gastric-sleeve/gastric-sleeves-how-much-weight-will-i-lose with a calculator that gives you a view of how people do on average versus the highest losing portion of people and the lower losing portions.

Also the gentlemen tend to lose more rapidly because of more muscle mass and other gender related metabolism effects.

Also depends on age, especially, for women. Post menopause weight is LOTS tougher to shift.

That’s ignoring how well folk are sticking to nutrition guidance, what the guidance is (varies so much more than I thought it would - I was only fluids for a week before surgery and skipped clear fluids to go to full fluids 2 days after). Then there’s exercise. Some folk are at gym 5 days per week, some, like me, walk 30-45mins 3 times a week, some can’t do or choose not to do any).

Plus loads of other factors...so, in loads too many words, not simple to answer and always best to not compare if you can resist it, but talk to nutritionist or doc if really concerned. [emoji3526]
