I found this on Pinterest and thought it was interesting. Any feedback on its accuracy in terms of other's personal experiences?

I cannot open the chart. Can you give the link? I searched on Pinterest and couldn't find it. Thanks

my doctors office uses this chart for sleeve patients.

Funny, my buddy and I were literally discussing rate of loss today.

My loss is averaging 5 lbs a week. I'm almost 5 weeks post op now. I see no change in scale then Boom! I drop 4 lbs.

But having read so many success stories here and elsewhere, and following the plan and exercising like crazy, I thought I'd be melting away. I'm ok how I'm doing, just need to focus on MY reality and bypass experience

It's right on with me as well!!

mnwimomof3 do you mind if I ask if you were exercising much during those 6 months? If so, what type of exercises. Your results are awesome! I'm hoping for the same. I'm 2 weeks out and down 14 lbs.

I lost 75 lb by six month mark and my highest weight was 286. I'm hoping to hit the century mark by year 1.

Interesting chart.

Thanks for posting it.

Yep, pretty much spot on for me. Started at 253. Down to 210 at 3.5 months. I'm 5'6".

Pretty close for the first six months, but the chart is less than I lost after that. I lost pretty close to all my excess weight, (depending on what you consider your goal) and that chart only shows at smaller percentage of excess weight lost. There are some who lose faster, some slower, but I think its a reasonable example.

I was only walking from surgery date of October 12 to January. To be honest not walking much at all. (Bad I know) January to now, I've been a gym rat according to my husband. lol He's a bodybuilder so I have a lot of knowledge from him about working out. Most of our friends are bodybuilders, fitness competitors, or trainers so I'm pretty lucky in that area. My workouts are usually 4 to 5 days a week and 1 1/2 to 2 hours long. Weights first and 30- 45 minutes of cardio after. Now somedays I have so much energy I do a double like yesterday. I did my time in the gym, came home prepped dinner and welcomed the children home from school and did the C25K (couch to 5K app) and followed that with squats. I think my success has a lot to do with having such awesome support from my husband. He's a clean eater so I don't have anyone eating the wrong food in front of me or asking to eat out.

Not accurate for me. I lost over a 100 lbs in the first 6 months.

Thanks for posting this.

I have been struggling NOT to make myself crazy over the idea that I am not losing enough. I am 14 weeks post op and have lost 36 pounds since surgery. It's kind of calming to see that I fall right in the low end of expectations, but only a little.

Thanks for posting.. Pretty close for me, I've lost 10 more pounds then what the chart average is.

I went to my nutritionist this afternoon. I'm 17 days post op and down 15.5lbs, but no movement on the scale in days. In spite of everything I've read about the 3 week stall I can't help but get worried. She is a lovely woman--but blunt! She said "Knock it off. Your body will release the weight when it's ready. You will not stay at 228.8 forever. It will come off."
