What Was Your First Month's Weight Loss?

I'm trying to get a sense of whether my weight loss is normal. I asked my surgeon if the amount I was losing was considered "normal" and I think he thought I was complaining that I wasn't losing weight fast enough (not at all!)

I know it varies from person to person, but I'm trying to get a sense of the ballpark range of what most people have achieved by now.

Thanks so much for helping!

    I'll let you know when the first month is over, but it is 17 pounds 18 days later. I was a low BMI to start, I am very happy with it.

  • I lost 25 the first month and then slowed down (not complaining, I knew that's how it would be) and now at almost 3 months out, I'm down 50. Halfway there!

  • 27lbs the 1st month and about 10 per month since then.

Thanks for posting! It's interesting to see the differences. I'm one week out and very curious to see where I'll be in 3 more weeks. I'm averaging approx 1lb per day, really hope that i could keep that pace for a while!!
