Question:
What is the average weight loss at about 11 weeks out of surgery?

I have only lost 4 pounds in the last three weeks. What can I do? I feel great, but the weight isn't coming off.    — cece B. (posted on August 26, 2003)

3 pounds, 20 pounds, 60 pounds, it just depends. If you're following your doc's plan, and know you don't have any mechanical problems, chill. At about 3 months I realized I lost nothing until the couple days before my period then I'd lose 8-10 pounds. That continued for the next 15 months til I made goal and lost 170 pounds. It'll come off. Good luck and God bless!

Look at the weight loss planner on this website and it will give you a good idea of where you should be at what time. Also, how much weight have you lost all together? You only mention the last 3 weeks. How much did you lose in 11 weeks? Your body may be playing catch up./

There is no average weight loss-everyone loses differently. And it is not unusual to have slower weight loss weeks or no loss weeks. Just follow the pouch rules, get in plenty of water and protein, lo carb and lo or no sugar, EXERCISE regularly, eat frequently, and it will come off.
