How fast are you losing weight?

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 about 7 months post op and have lost 107 pds! My pre-op weight was 251. I've gone from size 20/XXL to size 10 pants / medium shirts.

I'm a little over 5 months post op (surgery date of 8/31/16) and I've lost 90 pounds post op.

I lost 100lbs in the first 6 months, then it slowed dramatically. Took me an additional 4 months to lose 24lbs more and then an entire month to lose my last lb. Just hit my goal last weekend in 11 months total

It's been 8 weeks now and the last 2-3 weeks it's slowed to a very slow crawl of 1/2-1 lbs max per week if that. On the plus side it's better then nothing ?

Age: 57

HW 285

pre op 268 (Optifast start)

gastric bypass (12/12/16) 260

CW (8 weeks post op) 234

GW (2 year plan) 150

as you can see I only lost 8 lbs on 3 weeks of optifast, then lost 14lbs the first 3 weeks and now crawling the rest of the way at only 12lbs in 5 weeks.

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.



What surgery did you get?
