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.

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.
