You should not expect anything, every single human body is different and works different, there is no way to tell what you should expect. No one knows your body, I know my body enough, but still no way I could have estimated the amount of loss. Aslong as you follow the plan you should expect to lose weight, thats it. But not a particular amount, expectations can lead to feeling of failure " I SHOULD have lost more" Most of us have been there. Not the answer you were looking for but honest and from my experience none the less, and I asked the same questions pre op , so I am not saying you should not ask. :)

I totally agree. My only hope right now is to get pass each phase successfully. My plan is tough and if you follow the plan, you should definitely expect to lose. [emoji2]

Hope that gives you an idea....but everyone is different my friend[emoji18]




Started at 304 now 260 in 2 months. Totally agree that we are all different and each one loses differently. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

Your starting weight was 198.4 pounds per your profile. Since you're considered a 'lightweight' in the realm of bariatric surgery, you'll probably be a slower loser than the others who have replied because they started at much heavier weights than you.

My starting weight was 218 pounds. I lost 15 pounds during my first month. However, the rest of my monthly losses were single digit (1 to 7 pounds per month) thereafter.

Probably between 10 and 15 for first month.

My surgeon told me a pound a day but didn’t specify for how long. I lost about 26 lbs my first month, so a little short. I’ve been losing weight slowly but I’m size wise not that large, just my BMI. I think it’s because I’m actually not eating enough. I was sleeved 8/23 and was 246.9 day of surgery and am currently 217.8. 11.8% of my body weight sounds more impressive.


I lost 15 lbs the first month. My starting weight was a little more than yours.
