Average weight loss

I am 8 weeks post op and I average abt 9 lb weight loss every month-6 weeks

Is this normal?

I kind of thought the weight would just b flying off so much faster than it is

I think it's very variable, partly due to the calories and exercise you select and partly just your unique metabolism. It seems to me that a lot of people who lose big amounts also have periodic stalls.

Some eat v low calories (sub 800 per day) and some are doing loads of high intensity exercise. And some are doing both.

Good luck to all, I say. It's all about the destination where weight loss is concerned. There are some great stories on this forum about slower losers who made it to goal just fine - do a search.

If you want to up your weight loss you probably can but it does take effort.

A small "but" to all the above: it's possible you have a sluggish thyroid and if you're sure you're eating v low cal but not much is happening, getting a medical checkup and blood tests would be sensible.

Good luck.

I am 10 months out and I have averaged about 10 pounds per month. The further out you go it will slow down, but now I have added intense (for me) exercise 4 days per week so have still been losing about 8 pounds per month.

Ya I think it varies. I average mine to 12+ per month but I can loos 5 lbs one week and 1-2 lbs the next week and some weeks nothing. So it all varies.

It's also important to consider your inch loss. Some of us lose wayyy more in inches than pounds at certain points during our lose phase. Not sure of your starting weight, but if you don't have much to lose, that too could be it. Though that may not matter as much.

Check your inch loss and you may find you are losing pretty quickly there.

At 2 months out what is average weight loss per month?

[TwinsMama 483]

Everyone is different. From what I've seen here most Drs want loss to average at least 1-2 lbs a week so about 4-8 lbs a month. It depends also how close to goal a person may be, their age, and physical activity level.

So many variables.
