Weight loss rate guides /goals?

[wjgo 272]

Are there any weight loss rates one should be hoping g to achieve? I would imagine that such a rate would be a function of excess weight for men and women.

I am almost 4 calendar months post-op and I started at 164 lbs excess weight, and have been averaging 3.8 lbs /week last 6 weeks, pretty straight trendline. Is there a way I can know if I am exceeding typical goals, or faling short, and a way to see how those parameters change as I approach my goal weight?

The sleeve has an up to 70% of the excess weight loss rate in the first year. Going off your call out. At 6 foot 1, 394.9, your projected losses are:

61 lbs by 3 months post op
103 lbs by 6 months post op
144 lbs by 12 months post op.

Calculations drop to 60% of the excess for the next 2 years or so, and then 55% for the next 3 years.

Thanks, Matt! I thought I was losing slowly, but I'm way ahead on their curve! Yeah, me!

Thanks for link. My surgery was actually 353.1. so it appears that I am ahead of that chart projection, but only by 5.6 lbs or 10% of the projection.

I am trying to find info from people that reached their ideal weight and what their loss profile was like. I am not settling for 70% excess weight loss.

Look at peoples tickers or info on the side - that should give you some ideas

I lost all of the excess weight in about 6 months. On the last 15 lbs to goal
