The first month I lost about 20 pounds. It was pretty cool.

It's a fairly broad range and there are no guarantees whether you will be on the high end or low end. Some people lose lots, other actually gain weight from all the IV fluids. Expecting a big loss can be setting yourself up for a big disappointment.

ETA: I lost 32lbs. 26 at my 2 week f/u and another 6 in the next 2 weeks.

Month 1 post-op I lost 10.4 pounds.

I was very happy with that. Most I'd lost in a month in decades!

My gentle advice is not to set monthly scale goals. Instead, focus on something you can control -- like your Protein grams, Water ounces, steps walked, etc.

a lot depends on your size to start with, etc. i lost 38 pounds first month

but that is not typical. Every journey is different.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
