How much?

How much weight did you lose the first week?

I gained 16 pounds IN the hospital -- from all the IV fluid I'm sure.  I didn't weigh myself the first week, but at 2 weeks I had lost 12 pounds from my check in weight.   I feel I am a fairly slow loser but have had a steady average loss of  11 pounds per month.  And I am still losing.

I lost just over 7 lbs in the first week, and that's the most I've lost in one week since then.  Everyone is different...a lot depends on your starting weight (generally, the more you weigh the faster it comes off and in bigger increments), how much fluid you gained in the hospital, and how much walking you are able to do when you get home.

You're getting so close!!

I lost 19 pounds the first week. But I didn't lose anymore for another two weeks and starting again losing again near the end of my third week.

I only gained 3 lbs in the hospital and I had lost that before I was discharged.  I lost 17 lbs the first week and another 9 lbs the second week.  Then for the next two weeks I didn't lose anything (or gain anything).  Hopefully when I weigh myself next week I will have started losing again.  Your surgery is just days away....are you excited or nervous or a little of both?

Hang in there and try not to get yourself too nervous.  I'm sure you will do just fine.  Melissa
