What is average wt. loss?

Hi - I had my one week post op today and had lost 13 lbs. My highest weight was 284, I weighed 263 when I had surgery, and today saw 250 for the first time since I can't remember!!! They calculated me at 10.3% as I am 5' 6" tall. Jules

I am at 3 weeks and i have lost 19 lbs so i think that is good for you. keep up the good work. wendy

I am two weeks and two days post op, I weighed today and I'm down 26 pounds. That is incredible to me for two weeks.

I'm 2 weeks one day, I'm 5' 6" started 260 pounds. Today I'm 238 pounds, 22 pounds lost!!! I guess that's 19%. It's so weird to lose so fast. I literally wake up each morning feeling thinner. I'm so happy I did this. Sarah

How do you find out what your excess weight amount is? Thanks! Dawn

Hi Dawn...I have found sooooo much info on this site...to answer your question...go to main entrance and go under BMI calculator....it has a calculator where you enter your current weight and height and than it can give you info on how much to expect to lose with wls. It even graphs it out over a period of time. The info states the average expected loss is 65% of excess body weight..hope this helps

I am almost 3 weeks post op (ok tomorrow it is 3 weeks) and I have lost right at 25 pounds... I still feel like a whale - but my coworkers are starting to notice. I weigh less then I did went I met my wonderful husband 3 years ago...so that is exciting..... I wanted to lose quicker too - but I keep reminding myself that it took years for me to get so overweight and it is going to take some time to get the weight off.

im 17 days (2 weeks 3 days) and have lost 22 lbs....i love my life on the loosing side

I am 4 weeks and 1 day post-op, and have lost 47 lbs. total, and 41 lbs. since surgery. I started at 338, had surgery at 332, and am now 291. Only 101 more pounds to go!!!

I am 4 weeks out and I am averaging 11% as indicated. I started at 296 and am 31 pounds lost. I am a happy camper.
