Experts, when does the big drop happen?

[show1980 38]

I am 5 weeks out. I AM satisfied with my weight loss of 30 pounds so far. I have stalled but I here this is normal. I just wondered what weeks others saw dramatic loss? Thanks

[Bufflehead 6,358]

I never saw dramatic loss. Slow and steady won the race for me -- and btw 30 lbs in 5 weeks is NOT slow, it is awesome. Good job!

You are probably not going to get a straight answer to this question, this is due to the fact that everyone loses as a different rate.

Everyone is different. I was huge and my loss at 5 to 6 weeks was about the same as yours and I thought it was slow ish, silly me.

I lost the fastest months 3 to 7. This was because I could eat enough to be active. After 6 to 9 months I credit all my weight loss to my chosen WOE more than the sleeve.

Same here! I had great success with keto a few years ago, and so far I am replicating that success. I had to modify my plan a bit (everything I eat is approved, but I don't eat everything that is approved).

I have lost 18% of my total body mass in 6 weeks. As a big meat eater anyway, it's a natural fit for me.

Weight loss is not linear. I lost all of one pound in about eight days last week. By contrast, I lost four pounds from Sunday to today - or more than a pound a day. This is a lifetime commitment, not a race. I just keep telling myself that.

I thought ketos were bad for us - all those empty carbs and fake cheese.

Slow and steady for me as well, but that's okay, it's coming off!

This is what I lost month to month:

Date/Weight/Lbs Lost

10/2/14 - 260.8 (start of pre-op diet)

11/1/14 - 247 (13.8) surgery on 11/3/14

12/1/14 - 225.2 (21.8)

1/1/15 - 217.2 (8.6)

2/1/15 - 208.6 (8.6)

3/1/15 - 200.6 (8)

4/1/15 - 194.0 (6.6)

5/1/15 - 188.8 (5.2)

6/1/15 - 183.8 (5)

7/1/15 - 173.8 (10) I did Whole30 6/15

8/1/15 - 172.2 (1.6)

9/1/15 - 169.0 (4.8)

10/1/15 - 167.6 (1.4)

11/1/15 - 166.2 (1.4)

12/1/15 - 163.6 (2.6)

1/1/16 - 161.6 (2)

2/14/16 - 160.0 (GOAL WEIGHT!!!)

Just so you know, my weight fluctuated every day. Sometimes it even went up! But I only recorded from month to month to make sure I was getting an accurate trend of my weight loss. I was slow, but steady.
