Post Surgery Weight Loss Results

[Celaine47 4]

Hello All!

I would like to know if anyone knows the answer to this question?

Do people with a higher BMI or more excess weight to lose, lose weight at a faster rate than someone who has a lower BMI or less excess weight to lose? Just want to know what observations people have made.

Thanks!

Typically, yes in the beginning. Also, men in average lose quicker than women.

i think i would disagree . sorry. i started with a high bmi well still am but since surgery i have lost 30 pounds that was 3 months ago. So in my case no i am not loosing faster, And i have a freind who bmi was lower than mine alot and lost 50 the first 3 months. I think it just varies from person to person. only one fact is correct and thats it the weight will come off some faster than other.

Typically higher BMI/Weight lose faster till the BMI hits around 40 then it levels out and the loss is slower, this is what my surgoen states, but also everyones body/chemistry is different so this will not reflect everyone.

Very high bmi has shown that in super morbid people will drop weight fast. I went on a liqiud diet (day 4 so far) and am averaging 5 lbs a day.

Your experience with weight loss is is exactly why I said "typically". Well, that and the fact that other factors can influence it too. I hope your weight loss picks up for you. However, if it doesn't, you will still get there! Best of luck to you.
