I weigh 253 pounds and I'm 5'7. I read on here that some people lose 50 pounds in 1 to 2 months. I know it varies who the person is I wonder if that will be me. Is anybody similar to my height and weight the has lost a lot of weight in a short time? i know it may take time but just curious and anxious

Oh goodness, it's so variable I don't think you can really compare. Depends on metabolism, eating habits, exercise habits, how strict you are with the diet during healing, how much Protein you get, how much Water you get, have you been sick, do you aveother health problems (thyroid or diabetes) that might impact....I just don't know that anyone rlse can really predict....

Good luck!!!

Expect to stall out but keep working. You are worth it! I lost 60 lbs quickly and the next 20lb have been harder. They say te less you have to loose the slower it comes off. I'm 40lbs away from my goal and more determined then ever.

I'm only 5'3.5" but my preop weight was 259. Im 37 and had surgery on July 3. So far I'm at 232. So in 7.5 weeks I have lost 27 lbs. I get at least my 60 grams of Protein and 64 oz Water daily. I also exercise 4-5 days a week. I find my weight loss is on the slow side. Hope this helps.

It took me about 6-7 weeks to lose 50 lbs but have been very strict with myself including portions and exercise. I have a feeling that it's really going to slow down. I started at 286 and 5'5" and I think alot of the initial weight I lost was water b/c my legs and feet were always swollen. You can expect to lose 2-5 lbs per week.

That helps a lot Thank you. I wanted a estimate and seems like people are around the same. I have no health conditions so if I can exercise eat right get my protein in and drink my water I'll be good.

Nothing is rountine and u really can't compare to anyone else. Some people drop weight like flies others are slower. The more you weigh, the more you drop in the beginning. The Under estimate how hard it would be to drink those nasty shakes! Just a little FYI.
