I know everyone is different but what's the average of weight loss within 10-11 months? I'm going to be in my best friends wedding and I'd like to have lost a lot before then. My surgery is happening around the last of July/beginning of August.

If you follow your plan you will do well.The hard part is people lose at a different pace than others.I have lost a little over 100 pounds since October.Don't compare yourself to anyone else. People have different plans from their doctors also.

One thing I will say don't always look at the numbers they can make you crazy.I think NSVs are one of the best parts of the surgery.Like dancing all night at a wedding or sitting in a booth without being stuffed in there.

Good luck on your surgery

It depends on how much you have to lose.  Someone with an extra 100 pounds will lose substantially less than someone with an extra 150 pounds.  I can't even venture a wild guess without knowing more.

I went from 297 (before the 2 week liquid diet) to about 165ish in that time frame.

I went from 260 before the pre op diet to 123 at 11 months. If you weigh more than that you might lose more. Everyone is different though!

There are a LOT of variables, so it is hard to guess.

My wife was around 367 when she had hers done 7 months ago.  At around month 5, she hit a stall at 80 lbs down.  She stayed around 80 lbs for a month and a half and then finally broke free and has lost 20 in the last month or so.

Another friend had surgery a few days before my wife and I have no idea how much she weighed, but she lost more at the beginning (I think she had to stay on liquids longer) but now is just a bit ahead of my wife.

And honestly, you have surgery, you recover, you follow the plan and you lose what you lose.  I guarantee you will be lighter and feel better about yourself than you do today (I assume this is why you are asking).

Had surgery on New Year's Eve (almost 6 months ago).  I have lost 116 pounds so far.  Everyone is different.
