i am in a Bariatric group and a friend of mine is about 1 month + after her surgery. she is concerned she might be loosing to fast sometimes up to 2 lbs a day.

is there an average weight lost expected anywhere she could compare her initial weight and expected loss amount, to reassure her this is ok?

Everyone loses at a different rate... Her dr will be the only one to tell her whether or not she is losing too fast. I do know that typically you lose a lot the first month and then it slows down... But concerns she has should always be addressed with her dr.

Hi Kristy,

thank you for the reply. i also encouraged her to contact her dr.

i am new at this and just had my own surgery on 11/6. i see you are getting very close to your goal. congratulations!!

Patti... Welcome to the boards... I had my surgery feb 21st... Hard to believe I'm this close ... My dr actually wants me to be at 170 and I'm secretly hoping for 150 but realistically shooting for 165. It has been a wild ride. How are you feeling? It took around 3 weeks before I felt some semblance of normalcy... Again welcome to the boards and good luck to your friend as well
