What the expected weight loss?

[staffieri 5]

I have loss after surgery a total of 29 pounds in 6 1/2 weeks. But this week , week 7 I'm not sure I'm going to lose. Freaking out!!! Eating more soild food but only about 700 calories a day. How much weight can you lose in a year ? What happens a if you stop? I don't drink before after it during a meal. But I only think I wait 1 minute maybe between bites and I'm hooked on auger free Popsicles!! Help!!!

Don't worry. We all do this. Just increased my calories last week from about 500 to 700. scale did not move but this week already moving. Just give time to adjust. There is no average. We are all different

You have lost an average of 4 to 5 pounds a week. That is awesome! I am at the same point -- 45 days out -- and I have lost 24 pounds since surgery. That has not been consistent loss. I lost 18 pounds the first 15 days and then a long stall. Most people I have talked to said they lost in lurches after the first week or two. My average is 3.5 pounds a week. If I continue with that, I could lose 90 pounds in six months. If I don't, I am happy with whatever I lose.
