Si, on Nov 1, 2019 i changed my life by having the sleeve. Since then i am down 32 pounds. As happy as i am about 32 pounds,i feel that it should be more than that. Is this a normal weight loss or should it be more?

? You're doing great ?

That’s amazing!! Keep up the good work!

Everyone will lose weight at a different rate depending on a slew of issues age, sex, health, dna etc. you're doing fantastic. My surgery was 10/15 and I'm down 36lbs. Seems small to me but that's 36lbs in 10 weeks! You are just at 8 weeks that's amazing. Take in every success, last year I would have been up in weight from the holidays. I celebrate the loss!

If you don't have a lot to lose it won't come off as dramatically, but it sounds incredible to me--32 pounds!!

32 is Pretty good around the average.

4lbs a week.

You're doing just fine!

That seems to be my average as well and Im just a bit more than 7 months out. I dont see the same every week, but somewhere just under this. Also remember that if it comes off waaay to quickly that can also cause other problems. Let the process work while you are learning new routines.

That is a great amount! Keep up the good work!

Thank you all for your positive input. I was really getting discouraged. I hear stories of people loosing like 40 to 60 pounds in a month. Come the new year im joining a gym, so hope to see better results .

That might be true of people on "My 600 lb Life", but for us more "normal" bariatric patients, no way.
