Average weight loss at 3 months

Hi everyone!! Currently at all time heaviest of 250lbs. Having surgery in July/August and I would love to get an idea of the average weight loss people have experienced at 3 months post surgery mark. I know everyone is different but would be great to see how people are getting on. So glad I found this forum.... Getting so excited about finally loosing the weight and starting a new chapter in my life. One where the main character (me!) is a skinny b****!!!! You're all so thinspirational! X

I was 251 at time of surgery, 258 before pre op diet, 31yrs old, 5'4.... At 2 months I was at about 50lbs down.... Hit a stall the past 2 weeks. Everyone is different though. Good luck!

I would say between 40 and 60 pounds depending on your muscle mass, genetics, etc.

Personally, I think it's smart to count the weight you lose if you do a preop.. If you do a preop diet, you will loose less weight post op than if you don't do a preop diet... so if I include two weeks preop I lost 38 pounds in three months.... I coincidentally ALSO lost exactly 38 pounds in the three months prior to the start of my actual preop... Makes sense because during those three months I was eating at a pretty strict 800 calories a day, which is similar to what you eat post sleeve! The sleeve doesn't make you lose weight faster, it simply allows you to eat at a big enough deficit so that you'll lose weight.. You could do it without the sleeve.. but who wants to eat 800 calories a day with a full sized stomach? That's crazy talk!

My weight loss is slower than most people and I knew it would be coming into this. THAT'S WHY I HAD THE SLEEVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, because I struggled with losing weight even at a caloric deficit so I needed a tool that would make eating at a caloric deficit more comfortable so I could stick with it over the long haul.

I will be 3 months exactly tomorrow. My starting weight was 220 pre op. I lost 13 on pre op and as of today weighed in at 172. That adds up to 35 post op and a grand total of 48.

Yay me! :)

Soon it will be yay you too!

Similar. I was 224 the day of surgery, march 2nd. I'm 180 today.
