How much weight did you loose your first month after surgery?

I know it depends on your weight but I'm still curious

16 lbs (7.3 kg). But as you know, that's a very individual thing depending on so many factors, most of which you have no control over. The only thing you do have a lot of control over is whether or not you stick to your surgeon's plan. If you do, the weight WILL come off, either fast or slow...

22 pounds. It fell right off, but now I am in a stall already...I'm not cheating at all, but the scales not moving.

The first 30 days post op lost 22 pounds

I lost 10kg the first month. My starting BMI was 37.3.

17 pounds first month. Then hit a stall that lasted couple weeks. I'm 3 months post op now and down 50 pounds.

25 lbs first month ( I did the sleeve)

I did well 44lbs (20kgs)

It's called the "three week stall", because it usually happens the third week, but not always But it's almost always within that 4-6 weeks post-op time period. Just stick to your program and will break. Mine lasted two weeks. Grrr. But then once my weight loss started up again, I dropped like 6-8 lbs within a couple of days.

Yes I think your body decides to take a break and to catch up to all the weight loss so far...

I only lost about 15 pounds (39 bmi), but I had been working really hard since about 6 months before my surgery, so I think my body was "letting it go" slowly. Even now I only lose about 2-3 lbs every week. Still happy about that though considering Ive lost over 100 lbs in total at about 6 months out from surgery (and 1 year out from trying to get rid of it).
