Hey.... This is my first use of a forum ever. I had gastric sleeve surgery January 30th of this year. I am hoping some of you will share with me what your weight loss was the first month following your surgery. Please include your starting weight and ideal weight also if you don't mind, because I am trying to determine what my realistic expectations should be. I have no idea what to expect, no friends or family who have shared this experience, and my surgery was performed in a foreign country. I'm kind of lost. Just trying to figure things out on my own as I go. Thank you for reading...

I lost 20 pounds the first month after my surgery. BUT...as anyone here on the BP forum will tell you, everyone is different. There's no magic number, no 'typical' weight loss the first month.

I was sleeved on 1/25 and am down about 24 pounds . I only had to liquid diet one week so 6 pounds I attribute to that.. I am trying to incorporate some exercise now, mainly walking.. but I live in the Buffalo NY area near Canada , so our weather makes it difficult.. today is freezing rain , so a mall walk.. good luck on your venture.. I have no regrets ... protein intake is my worst enemy
