At 6 weeks post, how much was your loss total?

I'm curious how much on average, everyone had lost around their 6 wk point? i KNOW i'm losing, and doing pretty good. I just want to get an idea of where i fall compared to others.

Total so far I have lost 35, but that includes 15 pre-op so really only 20 lbs in 6 wks. Honestly, though it's WAY MORE than i could ever lose on my own without surgery. I may be the tortoise in this race, but i'll be a winner in the end!

I've lost 37kg total since 25 April, but 16kg since surgery, which was 6 weeks ago.

Sleeved June 24. Down 40 total. With 15 pre op

You're doing terrific and watch from now on the lbs will melt off. I think I was about 22 lbs down at 6 weeks. Good Luck!

My weight loss is slow, too. I've had 2 lengthy stalls already, but I think it is because I don't always eat enough. I've lost 28 lbs since surgery on June 12th. (8 wks) As long as I keep losing, I can handle the slower weight loss, but I sure do wish I had numbers like some of the others on here!

Im 6 weeks out too and have lost 18lbs post- op and 39 total. Had a couple weeks the scale didn't move much. I have found that if I eat

real smaller meals protein first and every 2-3 hours the weight is coming off. If I wait till I feel hungery I try to eat to much.

I had lost 20 lbs at the 6 week mark. Now 22 lbs at 7 weeks. Wish it was more, but trying to be patient. 61 total since January.

Am at 42 pounds at the almost 8 week mark.

25 or so of that since I had the surgery

I'm 4 weeks out and lost 21lbs

I lost 21lbs in the 2 weeks before surgery then i lost 18lbs after and it has been 11 days. A total of 39lbs in 25 days. The last few days have slowed down so i think i am getting ready for the "Stall"

I lost 10 on the pre-op diet, sleeved July 1 and have lost 25 additional pounds for a total of 35 down. I'm thrilled! I just wish I could move down a clothing size, too.

I had surgery on July 1,2014 and that morning I weighed 293 lbs at the hospital.i now weigh 265 lbs so that's is 28lbs in 5 weeks. I lost an additional 10 lbs on the 2 week pre-op liquid diet.

I'm seven weeks out and down 47.5 lbs, which includes 11 pre-op. I too stopped losing around week three and thought something had gone wrong. Eventually I learned why, so now I try to let people know about "the dreaded week-three stall" which can last two weeks or more. No, you're not going crazy and your surgeon didn't mess up. It's explained pretty well in this post on another forum that I discovered while doing research on the phenomenon. http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.php

Since before I had my op altogether I've gone from 20stone 5 lb n I got weighed yesterday at hospital n I've lost just under 2 n half stone altogether , but reading some of these results I'm now disappointed n wondering why I've stalled at the moment .
