I am 14 weeks post op and I have only lost 37.6 lbs since surgery. Total of 52.8 with my 2 week preop diet. I feel like it should be more than that. Is this in normal range of lose at this point?

If you could forget all about the number - how do you feel? Focus on that! :)

Everyone is different. There's no set rate.

I feel wonderful! I have people tell me every day how great I look. I know numbers shouldn't matter to a certain point.

I think you are doing fine. I weigh in the morning then I am putting my scale up! I tend to step on it every day, (NOT GOOD). Everyone is different. You are losing and thats what counts and if you aren't losing your body is adjusting. I am just a week or so a head of you. 15 wks tomorrow. Good Luck! Keep your chin up.

Are you exercising? Toning? As you may already know, muscle weighs more than fat. Exercise beefs up the muscle while melting away the fat. Even if you are moving easier and feel more energetic, your muscle tone may be improving.

Measure yourself. Log it. And measure again in a month. I bet you will see significant results that way, that will explain why you aren't seeing more drastic weight-loss numbers.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
