By month 3, I was losing about 15lbs a month. Months 1 and 2 were the biggest losses, averaging about 19lbs each month. My doc wanted me to stay on track to lose 12 - 15lbs a month and eat about 800 - 1000 calories a day. And walk at least 30 minutes a day. As I say, I'm not a fast loser, and I'm not a slow loser, I'm a half-fast loser. :D

I'm losing one pound every other week. I go to the gym and do aerobics and weights. Seems pretty slow to me, but glad I'm still losing!

Thanks for posting this question, this morning I woke up feeling discourage. Since my surgery on Octorber 29th 2014, I have lost only 10-12 lbs. I work out when i can and expect to see some changes but nothing. I keeping hoovering around the same weight. I am not going to give up. I have to do somehting to shock my body. I am happy that i have gone from a size 22 to a 18 that feels good. When I fist started the whole ordeal I was at 276 now at 235. We will get there. I will come off. I am open to any suggestion that anyone may have.

I just finished month 3 and lost around 9lbs. I'm hoping I can continue to lose 8-10lbs a month over the next few months.

This was a really good question.... one I wanted to ask also but I don't know how to post a question yet.

My surgery was October 22nd 2014 and I am down 38 pounds. The scale hasn't moved much lately and I was getting a little concerned!

I am disabled with back, neck and joint issues.... so I haven't exercised or began a walking regiment yet. I did order new sneakers and I think I'm ready to start walking at least!!! Maybe that will get the numbers moving a little!

P.S.

My skin is starting to itch now. No rash or hives though! Has anyone else experienced this?

15lbs/mo isn't fast??

Yes 15 per mo is A LOT just think 15lbs x10 month is 150

More Protein. Protein is a metabolic booster in itself, so make sure to hit your protein goals.Ad some good fats, get your body used to burning fats for energy. Your body will eventually start turning to the fat to burn.
