Average weight loss so far

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! I'm 6 weeks out now and I have to say that life is much much better. I had a very rough first week or two, but now I feel like I'm pretty much back to normal. I have noticed that my weight loss has slowed down A LOT. The first 2 weeks I lost like 30 lbs and since then it's been about 4 lbs a week. I'm at a total of 48lbs gone forever, and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm just wondering if I'm on track and what are everyone else's average losses per week now. Thanks and have a great day! -Monika

That sounds about right. I had my four week checkup yesterday, and had lost 34 pounds. I hope that helps. It appears like I'm only losing about 3-4 lbs. a week, too. Of course, I couldn't be happier. Hang in there & Way to go. Allyson

You are doing great I heard the average once you are on real foods is 5 lbs per week for at least 6 months. Dawn -42

Hi... I lost about 22 pounds during the first 3 weeks, then nothing for 3 weeks, then 5 pounds last week. It can get frustrating at times, esp. when you are barely eating, but hang in there. You are doing fine.

Hi everybody. I am 4 weeks out as of yesterday and I have lost 25 pounds. I see some kinda crying about "low" weight losses of that much but I think it is great for me. I am right on track with the planner-even a couple of pounds under.

I will be 7 weeks out tomorrow. I have lost 34 pounds since surgery (1/12/04) and 56 pounds (total) since I started my preop diet (10/11/2003). Weight has slowed for me also. I am currently on my third plateau of 1 week or more. Not letting it bother me too much though. I understand it comes and goes. I usually just up my excercise afor a few days and it bumps it right along. Congrats to all of you on your successful weight loss thus far!!

I'm 5 weeks out and have lost 35 pounds. For me its not about the weight, its about living. I think I'm going thru food withdrawal, I'm trying to fill my time with things other that food. I try to dress nicer, take more time with my appearance, go outside more, walk more, read listen to music, etc..

I had my surgery on 1/21/04 and have lost a total of 82 pounds so far. I have weeks where I will lose 7 pounds then other weeks where I lose more than that.

I started losing in November as a directed by my doctor. I had surgery Jan 12, 2004. I am down a total of 87 pounds, of which 30 was pre-op. Jeremy
