Hi I was just wondering what everyone's average weight loss in first 6 months was like. I am 5 1/2 months post op and after getting weighed today I am 15 kilos or 36 pounds down. I am so happy with that and so is my surgeon but was wondering about others as I have read posts about people losing that much in the first month or so, and what tips you have to help me along

thanks

Hi, the weight loss will be different with person to person. I lost 55 pounds since two months.

Someone posted this on another thread. Just remember everyone is different. I know my doctor didn't really allow me to have any food even pureed, for almost 2 weeks so I lived off of Protein drinks Jell-O, broth and Water until then. In the first five and a half months I'm down 100 pounds. My weight loss has slowed down substantially but that's okay I'm still trying my best to stay on track. I'm only losing 1 to 2 pounds in a week now.

Best of luck on your journey!

Guess I should have had my glasses on for that one so sorry! Here is the chart I meant to post

I am 4 months out and down 37 lbs. My doc is happy with that but I actually am getting a little antsy and wanting to speed it up. However, I know I am impatient and that the lapband has the slowest weight loss.

As long as you and your doc are happy then I say you are doing great!

It really does vary for each person. You can't compare yourself to anyone but I definitely understand wanting to know how others are doing because I am the same way!

Keep up the good work!
