My date is the 26th and I'm just curious to see how much people have lost the first week and month.

Thanks, Virginia

Quite honestly everyone loses weight at different paces as you will hear from responses not to mention the stalls you will experience. Don't be discouraged when that happens though It will be your body's way of adapting and you will find encouragement in the dedicated forum. For me, I lost a lot in the 1st month ~ 30lbs. I have now been averaging 1-3 lbs a week give or take since I have stalled twice. 1st stall lasted 3 weeks and the 2nd lasted 1 week. Good news is that I still lost in inches during those instances and am happy with my overall progress so far: 62lbs lost in 3.5 months. Good luck with your surgery!

6 days out and 18 pound lost ! Feeling great :-)

3 weeks out & 20.5 lbs

One month out I lost 29 pounds feels great

6 weeks out and lost 30 lbs.

First week on liquids I lost 15. Total after 5 weeks is 28lbs. (Only counting from surgery--not counting pre surgery weight loss)

Everyone will be different, but so far I've lost 26.6 lbs. I'm three weeks post op, and that loss includes my pre op diet week weight loss. Post surgery is 13.6 lbs. I'm averaging 4.5 lbs per week post op, and I think that's awesome!!! . I'm 35 years old, 5'5", and my starting weight before preop diet was 262.
