Trying to ensure that I'm on track. How much weight did you guys loss in a month? I had surgery on 7/25 and I'm down 23lbs but this week I have not lost any. Trying not to get down.

You're doing great! There's something called the "third week stall" that almost all of us go through- please don't let it get you down. Weight loss is not linear and this is the first of many stalls you will likely encounter.

Also, try not to compare yourself to others- everyone loses at their own pace, men lose faster than women, very obese people lose faster than lightweights, etc.

As someone else on here likes to continually point out- when is the last time you lost 23 pounds in a month? Never?

Congratulations on your success.

Sleever females lose about 15-20 lbs the first month. Bypass peeps usually lose a bit more.

The rule of thumb is we lose about a hundred or 120 pounds the first year, which averages out to 10 a month. The first few months are more, then it slows down.

There are always exceptions, but it gives you an idea.

I lost 17, btw.

Thanks guys.

I was sleeved 8/3. I am down 17 pounds from 275 to 258 (I'm
5'7", age 39). I have no idea how that is in comparison, but I imagine everyone is vastly different. All of the sudden today after picking blackberries with my family, I feel crazy weak and tired. Almost weepy--like I just feel like crying. Sorry, went off on unrelated info there, I'm thrilled about 17 pounds, but feel very off today.

10 days postop is still super early. You probably did a bit too much, and might have needed to "eat" or drink.

Kasparles did you not gain any water weight after surgery? Irregardless 17 lb in 10days is mind blowing ! Congrats

I lost 40 the first month.

No. No weight gain after surgery. Thanks!

Yes. I think so--it was pretty hot outside and I think I let hydration get away from me!

I lost 15 pounds my first month. By the 3rd month and thereafter, my rate of loss slowed down to 3 to 7 pounds per month.

I was a slower loser who took 17+ months to lose 100 pounds.

I have only lost 2 lbs in 9 days ! It sucks. Waiting for the drop

I am one week post op and between the 2 week pre-op liquid diet and surgery, I have lost a total of 23 lbs.

10 were lost prior to surgery

2 lb gain after surgery, but lost that within 48 hours

Have lost a total of 15 since surgery (that includes the 2lbs gained from surgery fluids.)

Total loss in 3 weeks 23 lbs (not counting the 2lbs surgery gain)

I lost 10 with the pre op diet and another 19 at 1 month out. I'm 7 weeks out have have lost a total of 37 pounds total loss

I lost almost 40 pounds in the first month. I am at 5 weeks and down 40 since surgery and 48 since start of my pre-op diet.
