What Was Your First Month's Weight Loss?

[lunabella007 37]

I'm trying to get a sense of whether my weight loss is normal. I asked my surgeon if the amount I was losing was considered "normal" and I think he thought I was complaining that I wasn't losing weight fast enough (not at all!)

I know it varies from person to person, but I'm trying to get a sense of the ballpark range of what most people have achieved by now.

Thanks so much for helping!

I lost 25 the first month and then slowed down (not complaining, I knew that's how it would be) and now at almost 3 months out, I'm down 50. Halfway there!

27lbs the 1st month and about 10 per month since then.

It's been 5 days post op and I've lost 8 lbs but I was only 55 lbs over weight however had the surgery becuz I had 4 of the major comorbidities.

I'll let you know when the first month is over, but it is 17 pounds 18 days later. I was a low BMI to start, I am very happy with it.

Thanks guys! That makes me feel normal

I realize that people with higher BMI may lose more weight more quickly. I'm pretty giddy about my weight loss so far! I lost 10 pounds before surgery, then 26-28 pounds since the surgery on the 8th of June.

I'm about 40 lbs lighter than I was in May! And now it's swimming season so I should be able to exercise more comfortably!
