Sleeve weight loss

[amacox 25]

Hello! I got my surgery date of May 7th and I'd like to know how much weight loss/month could be expected

[Babbs 14,681]

There are just too many variables to say what expected weight loss will be. What your starting weight is, age, whether you're male or female,and whether you're exercising regularly are all factors in the amount of weight loss for each individual. That's why it's important to try not to compare your loss to others when the time comes.

What I can tell you is it is much more rapid at first and then it will slow to more of the "normal" rate of loss (1-3 lbs a week) months down the road. Most people stall a few times along the way, too, so don't stress when it happens! If you're doing what you're supposed to be doing it will pass and you will be back to losing steadily.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Adding to what Babbs has said, some don't lose any the first couple of weeks (could be Water weight...), so don't be surprised if this happens to you. It WILL come off, if you follow your prescribed plan. All the best to you.....

You can ask your doctor and they will give you a bunch of statics, but like everyone else has said, it varies too much to guess or project honestly. Just go into this determined to do your best. Some people are fast losers, some are slow losers and some are steady and in between. Occasionally you even have those who gain weight from the IV fluids. Don't focus on the scale. Focus on staying hydrated, getting your Protein in and exercising as soon as your doctor permits. If you really want to see something amazing, take your measurements the day of surgery (neck, boobs, waist and hips). Then take them after each follow up visit. You'll be surprised at the changes you see.

All I can say is that I have lost 50lbs since February 9th 2015. Everyone is unique with his or her weight loss. Just know, it will come off
