I know everyone is different but what is the average weight you should be losing each week? I am 11 Days out and have lost about 8 pounds. I thought in the beginning it would be a little faster. I am more than excited about how much I have lost both pre and post-op, but am looking forward to feeling better when I get more off. I just seem to be the same weight the past few days when I was losing about a pound a day in the beginning.

HW - 316

SW - 269

CW - 261

GW - 150

I was doing 1-2lbs a day pre-surgery on the liver reduction diet (20 lbs total) - then post op I was doing anywhere from 1-4lbs a day for the first 2 weeks. Then that slowed to about 1-2lbs every other day. Now that I am over 6 weeks - it has slowed to about 1-3lbs a week. I am told 1-2lbs a week is normal for the rest of the year.

There is no set amount.

Look for the tend.

You may have 'flat' weeks where you feel you lost noting.

I am nearing the TEN-WEEK mark post-surgery. The weekly amounts lost in kilograms have been: 1.5, 3.0, 0.4, 1.5, 0.4, 1.7, 2.1, 0.9, 2.0 and 1.1 for a total of 14.6 kilograms.

That's equal to 32.2 pounds post-op.

Average per week so far 1.62 kg (or 3.57 pounds).

But I am a 61yo man that was more than double his desired weight. Two months post-op, I am on a very intensive exercise support program; others do less exercise or just incidental exercise.

Some people live on 800-900 calories per day, strictly monitored and strictly logged. I tend to eat 1200-1330 calories average as I exercise a lot.

Don't just look at one person ... look at a range.

Asking how many pounds a person should lose a week is like asking how long a pair of pants should be. There isn't a one size fits all for this.

And 8 pounds in 11 days is a pretty good start! I've lost 73.6 so far in 17 weeks since surgery (plus 26.4 before on the pre-op diet) and I've only gone as high as six three times. It adds up though.

Basically my point to the OP in my response.

Sooooo many factors come into play!
