I lost about 40 my first week, including a 2-day pre-op diet, but I'm high BMI and was still very dehydrated when weighed at my 1 week post-op.

I had my surgery on April 4th and when I weighed at the doctors office today I had lost 14 lbs.

I had mine on the 4/4 and I lost 12 I guess that us ok

I am 12 days post op and I have lost 27 pounds since my preop diet

one week In was 13 lbs down, 6 weeks I'm 50 lbs

I lost 23 my first week of being sleeved and 47 counting my 3 week pre op diet

I don't believe there is an average. It swings wildly from person to person. I gained weight while I was in the hospital. Then lost it, then gained it back and lost it again 3 more times ( while I was back and forth to the clinic having IVs.) I lost 36# during that first little bit, but it was the same 6-8# over and over. I thought it would never stop! Now at 8 weeks out, the scale has finally stayed in one direction for awhile. I am down 58# and people say I am ahead of the curve now. So I believe anything less than you went in is good. You just never know what hand you will be dealt.

I lost 6 pounds my first week post op, I seem to be losing pretty slow.

I'm 7 days out and so far 13 lbs down...that's including the extra 3 lbs gained my 24hr hospital stay due to the I.V fluids

My official pre-op weight taken day of surgery to one week later is 13 less.
