Am I still losing at a good/healthy rate?

Hi!

I had my VSG on June 19th of this year. I am a 20 year old male. I am 5'9.5" and was 440 lbs at the time of surgery. I currently weigh 353, and am super happy about it. I just wanted to check in about the rate at which I'm losing. It isn't always consistent, as I'll lose a pound or so a day for a little while, then hold constant for a a little while.

On Saturday the 5th of October I was 364.4, then I went down to 361.8, and stayed there until the 14th (I'm in college so I was partaking in some not-so-good-for-weight-loss habits that week, but realized it was impeding me and fixed them). Then from the 14th to the 21st I went from 361.8 to 353.6 at a consistent rate, and then I have been snacking too often over the past week due to midterm stress, although I am almost completely back on track.

I am super happy with my progress, but I am just wondering if this is still a healthy amount and rate of loss. It may be too much too quickly, or too little. I'm not sure, and I just thought I'd ask here as it can sometimes be a bit difficult contacting the hospital. Thanks so much for any help!

you are doing great. just keep in mind that everybody loses differently, so try not to compare along your journey as it could get frustrating... keep up the great work.

Omg that is amazing! I can't imagine being almost 100# down in such a short time. I hope I have similar success.

I'm only 3 weeks post op and I'm freaking out. i was losing 1 - 3lbs a day and I've only lost 1lb this entire week! Is it normal to plateau that early?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
