We talk a lot about what should be our average weight loss and how fast we should lose post-op. I saw these two graphics today and thought they were very helpful to allow us to visualize a realistic idea of how fast and what percent of weight we should lose at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months.

Wow!!! Thank you for this! I’m right on track!! Who da’ thunk??!!! ?

This chart is about averages. I am one year out exactly and have lost 100% of my weight! Was 200, now 122. I love this tool, but just remember, it is a tool! You have to stay compliant!

This is SUPER helpful to me. I'm a slower loser, but I also started at a lower weight. It's nice to see I'm almost right on track rather than to compare myself to others who are melting away. I find it such a mental fight and that I feel I'm failing, even though I am losing, and losing consistently! ?

Perfect...just in time. I'm a little bit slower but on the right track so that's good to know.

Ty great info

This is so helpful. I have been a slow loser but turns out I'm not that far off the average, which comforts me.

This was a great find.

Thanks for sharing this is very helpful.

Thank you so much for posting that. Made me feel that I'm normal. So this old lady is doing just fine! LOL
