You have to be wary of comparing weight loss numbers as it varies greatly between people based on many different factors. That being said my first month i lost about 40 pounds, i did start at 379, am male which apparently makes a different, and have a very active lifestyle between work and having 2 young children to chase around.

And I have lost about 18# in 4 weeks, but I am 195. The heavier u are it seems the more u lose than the people that are around 200 or so. And yes males lose more quicker usually. So try not to compare, or compare to someone around the same weight as u:)

I lost 21 the first month and only 7 the second. I hit a stall on the third week and it lasted 4 weeks. I completely agree with what the others said. You really shouldn't compare. If you set your expectations too high and then don't meet that it can be depressing. Just let your body work at it's own pace.

I'm 7 weeks post-op. I lost 18 lbs the first month and only 2 so far this month. I'm just trying not to be discouraged....

My loss is in my sig line. Right now I'm stuck, so not expecting it to continue at the rate I started at. You will find a range of fast losers and slow losers here.

You never know for sure how fast you will lose, but my guess is that we all have a clue. I was on a million diets before, and the weight loss pattern is similar...with one big difference - it's more likely to be a permanent loss this time.

I am 4 weeks out and have lost a total of 14 lbs. I am a light weight and agree with JP69. The less you have to lose the slower it comes off, as per my surgeon.

I have dropped 2 jean sizes though!

I'm 4weeks out and have lost 20 lbs. I'm 5'3. Day of surgery weighed 200lbs. Now 180lbs. I've heard that lower BMI lose slower. I will be happy with a 8-10 lb weight loss per month. That should hopefully get me to my goal weight in 5 months.
