I'm wondering how fast you all are losing weight? I've heard some people say 1lb/day. But im just wondering what other people's experiences are?

I'm 3 months out and dropping maybe 2 to 3lbs a week and maybe a bit more. Im not working out just yet, things are really crazy right now. Just kind of coming around to an eating schedule of sorts.

I just hit 4 months out as of yesterday and I am 81 lbs down. So I'm averaging 20.25 a month, but I know that isn't right lol. I lost about 25 just the first month, it slowed down a little after that but has remained steady. As long as its going down I don't care how fast :). I work out every day though. Everyone is different, but I'm extremely happy with my results.

people lose at all different rates for a whole hosts of reasons (age, gender, metabolism, starting weight, etc). It's sort of pointless to compare yourself to others, because the only control you really have is sticking to your plan (or not...). Just so you know, I was a slow loser - and I've lost 227 lbs. Hard work and commitment to your plan make a huge difference - not how fast (or slow) it comes off.

So my average is better than 2 lbs weekly. Going slow, but losing, hoping my head and skin will keep up with my snail pace.

I had my surgery on 11/21/2016, and I have lost an average of 2.5 pounds a week over the past 7 weeks. I have lost a total of 17.6 pounds since my surgery.

I have had a week where I have lost over 5 pounds, and some weeks where I lost nothing, though. I would like to add that I haven't been exercising yet. I have had some issues after surgery - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and I have already had to have my pouch dilated (at which point they found 5 ulcers) - all these things have kept me from being active. I can't wait to see how things go once I feel better and can exercise again.

I am nine days post surgery. I lost 20 pounds in the first week- which is as disturbing as it is encouraging. Up to around 25 pounds now, so slowing to about 2 pounds a day. My clothes definitely feel looser, but I don't see or feel any obviously weight loss spots.

Had bypass on 12/30/16 and steady at losing 5lbs per week. No official exercise as I get tired quickly.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
