2 weeks post op

[lyafs 1]

I am two weeks post op finally feeling normal. I've lost 16 pounds and I'm wondering what I should expect as far as weight loss.

My 1st month post-op was my biggest weight loss month, about 22 lbs. After that, I started eating real food again, and even though it was tiny portions, my weight loss slowed a bit. I was losing 15 - 18 lbs a month - which was fine by me! I still remember my pre-op days when I wished I could lose even a 1/4 lb a week consistently! :-)

After about 6 months, I settled into losing about 13 lbs a month. By the end of the year, I was approaching my goal weight and weight loss had slowed to about 9 lbs a month.

I met my goal weight of 235, but really wanted to get down into the 220's. A few months later, I was still losing about 9lbs a month and hit my lowest of 203 lbs.

3 years later, I float between 209 and 215, depending on the day of the week and what I've eaten.

I'm 10 wks out and have lost 40. If I lose 4, 5 or 6 lbs in a week, the next wk I'll probably lose 2. A couple weeks with big losses results in the next wk of 1, 2, or 3lbs. I don't even look at them as stalls. 40lbs is more than I could lose in a yr...and keep off!!! Good luck ❤️

Does everyone count their weight loss from before surgery or when you got out with the extra Fluid weight?

I count from the day of surgery.
