I would love to know how much different people lost their first 6 weeks. I had my 6 week visit today and I lost 30 lbs. thus far. I feel like it's good but not great. Please share how much you lost in the first 6 weeks. Please don't include pre op.

Aww I feel like I'm at a stall too. This sucks! Maybe we need to switch things up in our diet and exercise more.

At 23 days out I have lost 25 pounds. I think I am coming up on a stall as I am seeing a little slow down. Until a couple of days ago I was loosing about 1 pound per day and now am seeing a little less than that (i.e. in about 4 1/2 days only lost 3 pounds).

Still I think I am fairly lucky so far in my weight loss but expect that stall soon.

lol...really not great!? I've lost 28 pounds in 9 weeks...I'd say your doing a great job. Looks like you are averaging five pounds a week, that's pretty rapid weight loss.

I lost 39 lb in six weeks, but my surgeon said that was a bit unusual, that most people don't lose that much in six weeks. I think 30 lb is great, don't you?
I am only losing 2 lb a week now, but it's consistent, so I'm not complaining.
I had my surgery on April 2, 2012.

30 lbs in 6 weeks is great... whats your measure? when have you ever lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks... do you expect to lose 50 lbs or a 100lbs in 6 weeks. your expectations maybe too high...

your doing great - i lot 22 at 6 weeks... it's not always good to lose too fast. everyone is different. the more you wiegh the faster you lose. you are doing just fine. it's normal to have stalls every 3 weeks

I lost 50 lbs in 6 weeks but my weight loss stalled out for about 3-4 weeks after that . I observed that many of the people that considered themselves slow losers eventually caught up with me.
I am currently 11 weeks out and down 61 lbs.
So far I have learned that everyone eventually looses the weight,some faster than others but we all are losing.
