Hello, I'm new to this site. I wanted to know if someone else is having the same issue as me or if it's normal. I had the gastric bypass done April 30, 2019 at the time of the surgery I was 287 lbs. I am now 4 weeks out and I am at 269, I've lost only 18 lbs and 1 to 2 inches. Are 18 lbs good? I see post of other patients that have lost a lot more, I know everyone is different I just want to know if others have lost that amount or close to that amount 4 weeks post op.

18 pounds in a month is awesome! Be proud of your hard work, and relax about the weight loss. Follow your plan and you'll do fine.

That is amazing. I am 3 weeks out and am on track for a similar loss (but since my pre-op diet).

My experience from the sleeve (I had a revision) is that it is a slow and steady loss. It doesn’t drop off rapidly. Just keep up the good work!

I'm guilty of comparing myself to others. It is a great amount of weight, but try not to get down about the amount too much. Everyone loses different. There are people that are way ahead of me and I'm behind them. Best luck on your journey.
