i saw loss after about three days, The best advice Ive gotten is to only weigh twice a week. I was obsessed watching tiny changes that are normal for everyone day by day.

It wasnt about the pounds so much for me.... dont get me wrong I am a slave to the scale... but when others started to notice... So for me around 60 lbs is when I started getting .. are you losing weight... lol.. I was that fat that it took 60 lbs for others to notice. I took picture of myself once a month and the pics where I thought I was looking so good.. now I look at and laugh and wonder what I was thinking.

I waited until my first follow up appointment, which was a little over 3 weeks & I lost 40lbs. I had a very hard time post optimum keeping food down, after some trial & error it was the vitamins that were making me sick. Don't worry about the numbers as long as they go down your on the right track. :)

Im with the last poster. The most weight I ever dropped in a single week was 4 lbs. I have never seen the scale just shock my socks off. Slow and steady. It was at 7 months out that people whom I had never told began to think I was someone different.

My major weight loss was the first 2 weeks post op. had my surgery on a Monday. Left Wednesday and came home weighed myself. Exactly the weight I went in with. The following Tuesday I went to the doctor to get staples out and I had lost 23 pounds. I lost another 20 that following week. Spent a little over a month on a stall afterwards now I'm losing about 10-20 pounds a month since.
