How much weight loss per week is normal?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering how much loss per week is normal after the RNY propcedure? I had the surgery 6 weeks ago and am afraid that I am not losing enough. I have only lost 22 pounds since I had the surgery.

Other people who had the surgery when I did have lost a lot more than I have. I feel discouraged and wonder how everyone else has been doing.

Thanks for any input!!

Everyone is totally different! I only lost 2 lbs per week for the longest time. I suffered from two stalls right away. It really just depends on your body. I know its hard, but try not to compare yourself to others, it will just drive you crazy! Good Luck on your journey!

A lot also depends upon how much you have to loose as well as if you're a revision.

There is no 'normal'. There are way too many variables.

I agree. Don't get too high of expectations. Before surgery I saw those 3-5 lbs a week stats and was so excited. I however am a slow loser as I don't have a lot to lose. 6 months post op I am down 50 lbs. But I am happy with that. Still losing super slowly now. But it is still coming off.

My mom was a lot heavier than I am. She lost at a faster rate. I am going on the side that I will be in the 2-4lbs per week range. Im okay with that :) While I am still very much overweight I am about 85lbs less than what my mom was day of surgery

I used this when I trained for the 10mile MN TC run and will be applying it to my weight loss rate.... fast or slow as long as you go. I dont care if the weight is fast or slow coming off me just as long as I am making daily efforts to change to more healthier habits. I can't wait to get back to running again!!

It's nice to find another runner lover on here! I'm back up to 3.1 miles right now. I'm not paying attention to speed as much as I am distance. It feels so nice to be able to run again!

I have lost 13 pounds this week. I would like to get into running, but I am not sure how to start. I know I can't go out there and just start running 5 miles a day. Give me some advice runners!

You can not compare your results to others...you have to compare yourself to yourself. Everyones' journey is different and everyones' goals are different. Some have a lot to lose and some dont and of course all of us hit stalls. So best advice is to keep going and follow your doc's advice and have goals for yourself. There is no exact number on how many pounds you should lose a week...you can do it. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for the input. I lost 2 1/2 pounds this last week and was happy with that. The week before I only lost 2 pounds. I am trying really hard to stick to the diet but I am having trouble getting all my Protein in. I will just keep doing my best!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
