Expected Weight Loss

[GradyCat 3,692]

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.

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.

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