What is average wt. loss?

Hi! I am 3 weeks post op today and have lost 28#. I am thrilled with any loss but seems to me it should have been more?

Sounds good to me! I was 3 weeks post op yesterday and I have lost 30#. Remember the bigger a person is the more weight they will probably lose, at least at first. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your reply Roxie...my beginning weight was 363 and now 335...I cannot wait(weight) to see 200's again.

Average weight loss for the first 4 weeks is 11% (Take how much weight you have lost so far and divide by your EXCESS weight). For me, I lost 15 lbs the first 3 weeks and I am 134 lbs over weight. My calculation would look like thsi: 15 / 134 = .11 or 11%

Thank you so much...my estimate is 7.5% (under the average).This gives me something to gauge with!

Janette... your weight loss is 7.5%, but remember that the 11% is average loss for 4 weeks... not three. You are doing fine

Hi Janette, I'm 5'7" ...DOS (7/12/04) I weighed 259. I've lost 22 pounds so far. Keep on losing! Deb

I am two weeks out and I have lost 12 lbs. I wi**** were more, but I know I am not getting enough protein or water. Trying....

5'7", presurgery weight 277 lbs, today 256 - 21 lbs in a 16 days!! Hugs, Nancy

I'm two weeks out and have lost 13 lbs. Doctor's office calculated that is 9.29% of my excess body weight. Woo Hoo! I can remember ever losing 13 pounds in two weeks.
