15-20lbs seems to be the average.

I'm 12 days postop and down 10 pounds from my surgery weight. If you count all of the surgery weight I had to lose, I technically lost 30. I gained 20 from surgery and it took me a week to lose it. In the last 5 days I've lost 10.

I've lost about 26 lbs in the first month. It's different for everyone else though.

Congrats on GB surgery. I recommend you don't focus on averages or other people's weight loss as everyone is different and how much you lose the first 1-3 months is not indicative of what your overall results will be. Instead, focus on following your surgeon's plan and making progress on the issues that lead to weight gain. Good luck!

I lost 16 in the first two weeks and then stalled for a week. It ended up at 23 down total.

I'm 8 days out, and I've been losing 1lb/day.

I'm currently 22 days post op... lost 15lbs within the first week and half to two weeks then gained 2lbs and have been stalled since so I'm about 12-13lbs down since surgery. I've been in a stall for about a week but I see the inches coming off even though I'm stalled.


I gained 13 pounds from the surgery. Within the first month I lost that plus 16 pounds. I was losing about a pound a day. I had a lot of complications that made it terribly difficult to exercise, drink my fluids and get my protein in. So I stalled a few times. I'm down 38 pounds now, in 7 weeks.

Funny, I've been thinking in my head that I'm not losing as fast as others, but when I put it down to paper here that's a really good number. I know some of us get tired of hearing that we all heal and lose differently, but the truth of the matter is that is a very accurate statement.

Congratulations to us all!!!
