average weightloss per week?



Recommended Posts

My doctor is happy with .5 to 2 pounds per week. I've been losing on average a bit more than 10 pounds per month (yay!).

This week I've been losing much more quickly because I had a fill last Friday (I've lost 5 pounds already this week.) I know that'll slow down soon, but I'm enjoying it while I can!

I've been losing at just about the same rate as Jen. Some weeks, I lose just a fraction of a pound, but overall, my rate is around 11-12 pounds/month.

You'll find that there is huge variance in this, however.

when I started I was losing 2-4 lbs a week and that lasted for about 6 months. Since then I average .5-1 lbs a week. Just fyi I have never gotten a fill...

Average is .5-2 pounds a week. Clearly, everyone is different though.

grrrrr wish I was loosing that much per week. it is going much slower for me. Sure it is my fault I try to do the 2 shakes 3 snakes and dinner, but I almost NEVER make it. I have not fould restriction yet and I am still having a hard time knowing when I am full. I am starting to measure my food and not get seconds, but I get hungry like stomach growling and twisting hungry with in 1.5-2 hrs. it makes it really hard to stick to this "diet"

on a good note I am not gaining weight :w00t:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
