[Red_lips_and_confidence 148]

What's your average weightloss for 6 months?7-8-9 months etc . In a few days I will be 6months post op and -75lbs down since surgery. Wondering if my weightloss has been average? Fast? Just trying to compare to your journey as well to see what the average weightloss should be ! Thanks!

This is a great question. I'm only 7 weeks out and have found myself trying to analyze all of the weight data the 6-7-8 month sleevers share. Certainly everyone's journey and weight loss is different, but there should be some average ranges that people fall between? Thanks for this thread!

There are a ton of variables to your answer but the biggest factor is that the heavier you start, the more you will lose.

I'd lost close to 50 pounds at the six month mark, but that still elated me because my original goal had been to lose 80. A while ago someone posted a chart with average weight loss based on your starting weight. I'll see if I can find it to share.

I corrected a typo in my original post, and I found the thread with the chart I was referencing above. It's in the OP:

75 pounds at 6 months sounds really fast to me.

As others have said it really depends on your starting weight. Men lose faster than women. Bypass people often lose faster than sleeve people.

Everyone loses weight at different rates. What is average anyway

You have done great. Try not to compare weight loss with other people. It will make you crazy. Just be your own awesome.

It's going to depend how much you had to lose to start with and whether you are male or female. I had my surgery June 22nd so this is exactly 6 months and I'm down 120 pounds.

Not too far off according to the link you shared. My starting weight was 270 and I am now 195 so according to the link I am 15 lbs above weightloss for my starting weight woooo

Check out the link a fellow sleeper posted. It's pretty accurate ! I always wondered the same thing when I was newly sleeved too!
