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]

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
