weight loss first month

[ladylei0 20]

Just curious, how much did everyone lose in the first month?

[Fiddleman 4,376]

I lost about 45 pounds in the first month.

[ebonisekim 1,713]

If I could remember I think I lost 25-27 lbs

Oh wow! I'm feeling rather frustrated. It's been 3 weeks and I've only lost 15. I'm following guidelines and got back to the gym last week.

Is this progress normal?

Wow! 15 pounds in three weeks?! That is awesome!!! That is more than half a pound a day! If you search this site, some people don't even come close to that in an entire month. I think you're doing fantastic and wish you continued success!

I am 9 days Post-Op and am down 15 lbs.

I was told I cannot begin 'working out' (high impact cardio, running,etc) until week 6 and then to start out light.

I am still on Soups, smoothies, etc for another 8 days then I transition to soft, pureed foods.

My first month i lost 24 lbs. Each person is different in their weight loss, and 15 lbs in a month in nothing to laugh at. Think, whens the last time you lost 15lbs in a month? My doc told my hubby, who had his sleeve 5 months before i did, that some people drop all their weight the first 6 months, while other are still losing 2 years later. So there really is no "normal". Just what's "normal" for you. You are doing great! Just remember, the slower you lose it, the less lose skin you will have to contend with!

Curry and magpie, feeling better already. I guess I expected going back to work looking like a new person but this new outlook is much better! Never even thought of the skin problems!!

Thank you so much for the kind words and attitude adjustment!

5 pounds at three weeks your doing good dont compare yourself that great thing is that we are losing

Also we are all starting at different weights, have different body types, and males tend to lose weight faster. I think that we sometimes put too much pressure on ourselves by comparing. I know I couldn't have lost what I have so far with out the sleeve and for that I am grateful.

I had surgery on 4/24/13....my pre surgery weight was 238....today I am 205.

As stated above, starting weight definitely makes a big difference. I started at 360 and was extra morbidly obese; I had a lot to lose. 188 lb today at 17% body fat. Good place to be and easy to maintain. However, Trying to drop 15 lb fat and gain 5 lb lean muscle in next 4 months.
