Hey everyone

Just a question for those already sleeved, about how much did you loose in your first 3 weeks to a month?

Now I know everyone looses differently and you can't judge one persons loss by another's but I'm curious to get an averaged number from a large pool of people.

Thanks for any and all replies.

You may want to do a search because I know a couple of people have ask this question and it may help in case you don't get alot of responses

5'2" Surgery date 12/3/13 SW 230 CW 190 1st month loss19lbs

You're right, there is no normal. So many factors. Age. Sex. Activity level. BMI. Length of pre-op diet. And other factors as well. All that said, I lost 19 pounds in the first month. I'm a slow loser.

I did well with the pre-op diet (lost 23 pounds in 3 months).

Day of surgery 12/23/2013 weight was 212.

Four weeks weight was 197 (so, 15 pounds).

Had a 2 week stall at week four.

Just finished month two with another 11 pounds down.

Total to date - 49 pounds with another 51 to go.

I am stoked that at two months post op I am halfway already,

I do not regret this surgery at all.

Wow Miss Mac you're doing really well! I lost a bit over 23 pounds with the two week pre op diet and one week post op...but two weeks later I've stalled.. Can I ask what your diet/exercise day to day looks like?

Weight day of surgery was 194.6

Today makes a month since my surg and I'm at 175, so 19 pounds for me in 4 weeks. Good luck to you!

I'm almost 3 weeks post-op and so far I've lost 11.4kgs (25 pounds) (including 6 pounds during the one week pre-op diet). I expect at this rate I'll have lost around 13kgs (28 pounds) by the end of four weeks. The first 15 pounds dropped off really quickly, and now the rate has slowed somewhat. (I think partially this could be from moving onto puréed foods.)

So I guess that makes me a fast loser compared to some of the other posts here, but we all loose at different rates. I am aiming for a total loss of around 142 pounds, so it could just be that I have more to lose so it's coming off quicker.

All of you guys have done really well. Congrats on all ur loses!

Wow, everyone has done amazing! thank you all so much for your replies. This give me a better idea as to what to expect.

I usually count from the two week pre-op, which is 55 lbs. But if I count from surgery (a lil over 1 month), around 30 lbs. Logically I know that's pretty good, but I've been hovering at the same weight for around two weeks and its driving me bonkers!

Belunos that's REAL REAL good. Kudos to you!

Surgery 1/15/14. Have lost 15 lbs since then. Today is 2-28-14. Need to exercise more. Have averaged only 2X a week 30-40 minutes in recumbent bike. I feel ok about the drop rate, but I know I could do better. Thanks for asking the question.

I didn't have any pre op diet. I lost 24 pounds in the first month. The second month I lost 14 pounds. I'm working on my 3rd month now.

Insurance required me to do a six month managed plan. I managed to lose 42 pounds in that time with diet and exercise. I had surgery on 12/23.

I am now starting week 9 and have lost an additional 48 for a total of 90 lbs

I watched my weight on a daily and weekly basis, and still do. This is a snap shot of what I lost in a year.
