Wow I'm very happy with the weight loss for my first month post op 23 pounds, this does not include my pre op weight I lost. I'm motivated to keep going and hope to be at least down to 250 lbs by my b day in October.

How much did you loose during your first month post op?

I lost 18 pounds my first month. Then I hit a stall and didn't lose for a month. After that I normally lost about 8-10 pounds a month for the next 6-7 months. Everyone is different, so it is hard to compare, however most people do hit the dreaded 3 week stall, so be mentally prepared for it to come. Good luck to you! I hope your reach all of your goals!

everyone is different. I lost a lot preop, yet had no loss for 2 weeks post surgery. I average a 1 to 3 # loss a week now. I just "keep on keepin' on", it'll all work out!

I lost 22.8 my first month, 11.6 my second, 10 pounds my third, and "only" 3.8 over the last 13 days of my fourth month.

This is NOT the miracle speed loss some think it is, it's hard work and good choices, but it's a great tool. I love my sleeve.

just to show the differences among us...I had my surgery 10 days before lipsticklady, and my surgery day weight was 5 lbs more than hers...over the 4 months, I have lost only 45 lbs. compared to her 68....we also have the same goal currently of a weight of 150 lbs....it may take me longer than lipsticklady to get there, but I still plan on getting there, so when we both achieve our goal, it won't really matter in the long run how long it took each of us to reach it...I do understand your concerns, though, about whether you are "normal" and I am still always comparing myself to others here who are on the same timeline as me...I recall that I lost around 20 pounds my first month post-op, and the biggest monthly weight loss I have had has been that first month post-op

tiger.

I lost 20 of that pre op. We seem to be losing at roughly the same rate.

I'm 2 months out and I've lost 40 pounds the first month and 30 pounds in the second month and my starting weight was 365.

Can I just say how glad I am to see posts from people who are actually HAPPY about their losses? None of us could have lost this type of weight before surgery so I'm really, really glad to see threads where we acknowledge that is a fantastic tool.

I'm 4 weeks post op and I'm down 25 lbs. Over the last 16 days I've lost "only" 5 lbs and am plateau'ed, but given I've now lost over 10% of my starting body weight, I understand that is typical.

For the record, the last time I lost weight this quickly was when I was dying, bed-ridden, and could only consume 1/2 a Protein shake, and 1/4 of a Peanut Butter sandwich all day! The time before, it took me 6 months to lose 13 lbs and I was walking 4 miles a day and eating under 1000 calories and was hungry all the time.

I have lost this time from feasting on crab cakes, yummy eggs, sausages, chicken curries and other goodies. Thank you Universe!
