Initial loss can be all over the board due to a number of factors, but is usually the fastest that you will experience during this process, and will taper off over time. Initial loss is heavily biased toward water weight, but after about three weeks (and the typical "third week stall") you will actually start burning fat and things will slow down considerably. (My first month's loss was 32lb, with 15lb in each of the next two months, then 10lb per month, and that is a fairly typical progression.)

Give it a couple months before deciding whether you want to slow things down - most will struggle to get all the weight off that they want as things slow down over time. My basic rule of thumb is that if you are approaching your goal weight (say, within 10lb) within the first six months, then look at slowing things down.

It will slow down naturally. My first 3-4 weeks were big numbers. Then I averaged 2 lbs a week which is totally normal rate. And it doesn't draw unwanted attention if you're keeping your procedure private.
