I'm not positive, but I think around 25-30 pounds. Started with a 40 BMI.

Everyone loses at different rates so looking at others loss will not help you determine how much you will lose. I am a "slow" loser by comparison to most on this board but I am losing faster than ever before and I am grateful for it. I lost 37 lbs in the first 4 months (October 1 to February 1st) and only half a pound since then. Keep in mind that I lost 10 lbs the first week after surgery that was my Water weight since I did not have a preop diet.

It all depends on your starting weight and how well you follow the program.

You really don't want to compare yourself to others as that may set you up for disappointment and feeling as if you are failing.

Focus on changing your attitude towards food & exercise, Protein, Water and calorie free liquids, low fat, carbs & sodium. If you are doing the best you can with these things, you are a success no matter what the scale tells you.

Best of luck on your journey

In one week will be my 4 mo anniversary and I've lost 34. Very slow going but I started rather low BMI. 40 more to go.

[VSGAnn2014 12,992]

My highest weight (about 2 months pre-op) was 235.

Lost 19 pounds pre-op.

Lost 42 pounds during the first 4 months post-op.

I was sleeved at age 68. I'm 5'5" tall.

I reached goal (150 pounds) at 8.5 months post-op.

9 months later I've lost another 15 pounds and am at a comfy maintenance weight of 135 pounds.

Good luck! (This is NOT a race. In fact, this journey never, never ends.)
