I know everyone is different and I know everyone looses weight at different speeds but how much weight on average did you loose each week in the first 4 weeks? I am eating 3 small meals a day and having one snack but my weight loss seems really slow, I lost more in the 2 weeks before my operation than I have since the op.

I lost exactly 32 in the first 4 weeks. The last 2 weeks were definitely slower than the first 2, though. I think us gentlemen tend to lose more quickly at first, though.

As has been said ad nauseam here-- everyone is different, so don't feel like you have to "measure up" to other people's results! As long as you are following the plan that has been put before you, even if the weight loss is slower than you'd like, then you're doing it right!

Proud of all of you! Keep up the great results and keep being the inspirations you are!

I lost 25 lbs at the end of week 4

I'm not even 3 weeks post-op but I lost 8 pounds the week before surgery, 7.8 pounds my first week after surgery, 7.4 the second week after surgery, and I am still losing about 1 pound per day. I was just OKed to go back to the gym yesterday so hopefully I can keep that rate up for a while!

I am one month and one day out from surgery. I have lost a total of 31.6 pounds. 10lbs from the one week liquid diet before surgery and 21.6 since surgery

At 4 weeks I was about 28 lbs down. Is your ticker since surgery? If so, than it looks like you're right on track! Don't worry - be patient. It might go slower than you think it should or than you want, but remember that you didn't gain it overnight either!!

At four weeks I had lost 29 pounds

Ten days ago I weighed in at the hospital at 243. Six days later (when I was finally feeling okay) I thought, "let's jump on the scale and see what is happening". It read 224.

I about died. 19lbs in six days.

I don't know if I had a heavy stomach organ.... Or what. Lol! But after reading this thread, that seems very abnormal. Since then, I have lost about a pound. (Stall?) I get my Protein and Water in, so that can't be it.

I'm anxious to hear what the doc says when I meet with them on Monday.

I was thinking my op had been over 4 weeks ago but just realised when I did my ticker that I am infact only just over 3 weeks out since surgery, In those 3 weeks I have lost on average about 5lb a week with the first being almost double that so I guess its not as bad as I had originally thought.

I have been stuck at 200 lbs since the beginning of the month. Has anyone had a plateau for a while like that? I have lost 42 lbs since October and I don't think I'm having the best results. Any advice?

I had a 3 week stall and then I upped my food intake just a little and started my exercise program. I exercise twice a day for 25 minutes. Walking on treadmill and stationary bike. Since I started this....the weight has been falling off at about 5 pounds per week. But...more than the weight loss...my body is morphing. Even during the stall my body was changing. So, life after surgery isn't just all about the numbers...muscle tone, shape and other benefits have to be considered.

I'm 4 weeks post op and I have lost 21.4lbs. I think I have stalled. I'm getting nervous. I don't know if I'm good and on track or I'm moving slow!!!

HW: 313.0

SW: 300.0

4 week Wt: 275 (25 lbs from surgery)

6 week Wt: 270.2 (almost 43 lbs from pre-op diet weight!!!)

I just hit 4wks from the date I was sleeved, but they had to go back and do an emergency hernia removal 3days later so I didn't lose anything the first week after surgery.

I have lost 29lbs since surgery

35 pounds, 23 days

25lbs since the 17th. which is when i began my liquid diet.

I was 262 at my highest.

I'm now 237 been here for several days.
