How soon after surgery should you see wight loss?

I am 1 wk post op today and just wondering how soon everyone started seeing weight loss after surgery?

I know everyone is different and healing takes time but just curious?

    I lost weight the first week post-op and haven't stopped since! :) Weight loss should be fairly immediate with the greatest losses in the first month and then slowly tapering off to a somewhat steady, lower rate of loss after that. I lose 3 pounds per week and I'm 4 months out.

    In terms of "seeing" the weight loss in physical appearance, people didn't really start to notice until I had lost about 75 pounds. I'm down to 219 and I'm just now starting to see it in myself.
