I lost 10lbs for the 1 week pre-op diet. Post-surgery, I lost around 20lbs in the 1st month, after that, I was averaging about 13lbs lost per month for the next 11 months. The weight loss seemed to get more difficult after 12 months - but of course, I was eating more and different kinds of foods by then - and I slowed to about 8 - 10lbs loss per month. I lost 170lbs and have been hovering around 205 for the past year.

My doc said to expect to get down to 235, but I guess I'm an overachiever.

And I feel obligated to say the numbers were monthly averages. My weight did go up and down and there were multi-week stalls, and there were some months where I only lost a couple of pounds. My weight loss was not in a steady downward trend.

Thank you for replying, I understand I won't lose it every month and periods will hinder it also! I tend to put on 8-12lb just in the 2 weeks before it, I'm just interested what other people's losses have been like
