Normal Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

So my surgery was 11/25/13 as if today I am down 20.9 lbs. That makes about 5 lbs a week. Is that normal? I hear so many others loosing so much more the first month.

That's pretty good, in my opinion. I've been averaging about 4 pounds a week. But I gotta tell you, it seems there is no real average. Everyone is different.

I will also say, I am 11 weeks out and have been stalled almost half the time. It's a wonky ride, this weight loss journey.

At your point I was losing 3.5 pounds a week.

I was losing about 20lbs/month for the first few months, then it tapered down to about 12lbs. After 6 months, I was losing at 10lbs/month. We all lose at different rates depending on stomach size, recovery rate, exercise and diet. As long as your doctor says you're doing okay, you're fine. He's in the best positon to judge.

Seriously, the best thing you can do is not compare your weightloss to others here. I did that too much for my own good. I have always lost slower than others and you just cant compare with people that have a lot more to lose or are younger or fitter or whatever. Just do your own best.

I still love this Forum but I quit calculating how long it took this or that person to lose how much.

Congratualtions, I think you are doing great!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
