How much are you losing over what time period??? I want to understand the rate that people are losing weight over time. For example I lose 2-3 lbs. every 2 weeks. It seems like its gotten into a regular rhythm.

My overall rate is 2.45 lbs lost/week

I've slowed down to a pound or two every week.

I’m 8 weeks post-op. For the first 6 weeks, I averaged about 5 pounds a week, but these last 2 weeks, I have only lost about 2 pounds per week.

Initial loss will be fairly quick, as there is a lot of water weight lost at first. The general trend will be declining after that, as it takes fewer calories to move 200 lb around 24/7 than it does 300, etc.

My basic monthly numbers were (IIRC) 32, 15, 15, 10, 10, 10 and then I started ramping up the calories to slow things down as I was within about 10 of goal weight.

YMMV

By month, I went: 22, 10, 10, 5, 7, 5. So definitely slowing, but I'm partly putting that down to a really weird few months with a lot of unpredictability. Next month will be a lot more stable with regards to schedule and food, kind of curious what that'll mean weight loss wise.

I weighed 287 day of Surgery and I’m 264 now I’m a little over a month post op

Mine is so inconstant. At week 3 I stalled for 3 weeks, after that I lost 8lbs on week 6, 5 on week 7, then 1.4 last week. I weigh in tomorrow for my 2 month (8 week) weight in. But I'm down 30lbs since surgery on July 2nd. And 80lbs total since I started this whole journey last October.

I'm 7.5 months out and my monthly losses were: 18(pre-op), 16, 15, 13, 12, 10, 13, 13... I've only lost 2.2 so far in September, so it's slowed down dramatically. My surgery weight was 291.6.

I'm really having a ruff time with my gastric sleeve post op. It's been 2 months. And I'm just able to drink water. I ended up on TPN. Feeding tube. The doctor just removed it this passed Monday. So... Back to liquids. I've lost 15 thus far.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear. Do they know what the problem is?

I have Lupus and it triggered something in my small intestine. To cause me constant contracting pains. I felt like I was in labor 24/7 and drinking fluids only intensified it. I then became sooooo... Dehydrated. I had to wait for it to just pass. The (flare of Lupus) that is. In meantime... I had to be fed nutrition through tube.
Now... I do have cravings. But, I don't feed into them. I started off at 211pounds. No currently 180lbs. I skip day's of eating because of nausea..

I’m six weeks post-op and 23.7 lbs down since surgery (36.6 lbs including two week pre-op diet).

First month I lost 20.1 pounds from 7/30-8/31, and I’ve lost only 3.6 since. I had a bit of an extended plateau that maybe just ended (??) and I’m hoping my rate of loss will increase again, we’ll see!

I’d love to be doing a bit more than 2lbs each week since I’m still only a month and a half out, but I don’t know if that’s realistic! I had gastric bypass. 

I weighed 245 prior to my Surgery and I’m 178.4 now. I’m a little over 3 months post op. I lose about 2 to 3 pounds a week.

That sounds rough. I'm sorry to hear all of that. Did they know that Lupus could cause those kinds of complications?

No they didn't. But they said it was possible. Especially with auto immune disease. Now I want to get to the point to enjoy my weight loss journey. I am feeling stuck in lbs. The dietician said it will come. The food line was feeding me 1800 calories for 12 hours a day. Which sucks!!!
I haven't been able to exercise.. because I'm exhausted. And my body still weak. But, I have Faith. It will come gradually.
