how much weight to lose in a week

[nervousnelly719 67]

i had my 3 month post op appointment today.. i am down 51 pounds. this averages to about 3.3 lbs a week.

just curious to hear what others 3 month post op loses have been and what you may think is "normal"

You really shouldn't compare your weight loss rate with others. Your body will go at the rate that is best for you, others will definitely be very different - all over the place really.

But just for informational discussion, I lost around 8 lbs. a week for the first month or two, then it dropped quickly to around 2-3 lbs. a week for the rest of the time. But there were many, many weeks of stalls - as in nada, zip, zero pounds - in there too.

You sound like you're doing fantastic - losing 3.3 lbs a week is a great rate!

I just did my math. 22.5 weeks out Average 3.27lbs per week

My average is 1.95 lbs a week. I've had lots of stalls as well and I am very happy to be losing at this rate. If it continues I'll be at goal by the end of summer .

Any loss is good

My first month or two months I was loosing about a pound a day. Now 10 months out I'm averaging about 2 lbs a week

It's easier for the big guys...I've averaged 7.2 lbs per week overall and lately its been 5 lbs per week. I'm only 6 weeks out from surgery.

It's easier for men to lose weight in general! *sigh*

I think 51lbs in three months is great! Its a good, steady pace
