Flower~I am losing an average of 2.16 pounds per week. My Dr. said that 1 to 2 pounds per week is idea... but some people just lose slower than others and I say as long as you are losing then your doing GREAT!!!!

I think mine is 1.5 per week...but I want to put your mind at ease...some weeks I lost nothing, maybe even two weeks in a row. Then, 3-4 pounds would "whoosh" away in a few day period. So, an average is just that, an average. With me, it is not usually steady, but lose, gain a little, then lose a lot, gain a little, hold steady, lose, etc. I track my weight loss on fitday.com, and it is interesting to check out the little graph for different periods, like a week, 2 weeks, a month, 2 months, and so on.

Hope that helps a little...don't sweat it. Cindy

I've been losing an average of 1.5 - 2.0 lbs/week. Some weeks more, some weeks less, some weeks NONE (think this is gonna be one of those weeks) lol, but you get used to it. Everyone will lose at a different rate. You're doing just fine :)

2 a week is fantastic. Thats 104 lbs a year folks, I'd take that in a heart beat.

I really can't comment on the losing end b/c I just am under 4 weeks out. I'll let you know in January / February.

Flower,

I've been loosing about 3 pounds a week on average but some weeks are better than others. When I hit a plateau, I go back to the liquid diet for a dayand that seems to jump start me again.

Flower, you know you've seen it said before, but I'll say it again. Average means average over time. You can't expect to see the same amount drop off, week after week, week after week. It just doesn't work like that.

Normal people lose weights in fits and starts. So wait three months, then look back and divide your total weight lost in that time by 12 weeks. THAT'S how you calculate what your average weight loss was for that time. Stick with it, and you'll do great!

Mine is about 1.6 lbs. I might try the liquid diet to jump start my weigh loss. I am very pleased with my loss. Some weeks it is nothing. If I don't lose another pound I am very pleased with my band.

my AVERGAGE is 1.2 lbs per week BUT that is not how my loss has happened.

I lost the most weight in the beginning and the rest has been an up and down struggle, plateaus, small gains and then losses.

I am up 4.5 lbs from my lowest and not happy!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
