First month

How much did you lose in the first month?

[AggiG 176]

I don't remember but don't go by anyone but yourself because everyone loses at a different rate and it will only make you miserable.

Thank you for that, I struggle with a few health conditions and hope it doesn’t affect my weight loss after surgery. 😔

I think it was about 44lbs

18 pounds, but everyone is right, it is toxic to compare yourself to others. You'll usually end up discouraged. Hang in there!

Also remember that those who lose a lot, are more likely much heavier to start. I have a lower bmi to start and "only" lost 10 pounds I think... but 10 pounds is great too. And I am now 3 1/2 months out and already reached my docs weight goal for me and am less than 25 pounds away from MY goal weight. But again... I started with a lower BMI (36 at surgery). My experience will be different then many.

You are off to a great start then! So, at some point you will slow down/stall.... but if you stick to the prescribed plan then you will overcome the slow down/stall and start making progress again. Just try not to stress over the scale too much. Even when I stall, I am shrinking somewhere.
