Average Weekly Weight Loss? HELP!
VSG on 08/02/12
I was sleeved on 8/2/12 and I am losing anywhere from 1.5-3 pounds a week now. My surgery weight was 270 and right now I am at about 221. Should my weight loss be higher or is that normal? I get in about 700 cals, no more than 40 carbs, and about 75g of protein daily. I am excersiging for about 45 mins to a hour a day.

I was averaging around 2lbs a week but I have been on a stall for a couple of weeks now. I eat about the same amounts as you but I am not walking anymore so that may be my problem. I started at 303 and I am now at 228...will be sooooo happy to get to Onederland! I was sleeved 6/25

lol 49 pounds isn't fast enough? Everyone is different...you can't go by a chart. If you'd like you can go to the weight loss calculator obesity help has. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/information/post+op+planner.php
You see the disclaimer though?

Mine didn't fallow this pattern at all but either way I'll get where I need to be. It isn't about how long how fast. It's about you and sticking to the plan. I was sleeved on 7/25/12, and everyday that went by at the beginning I was worried that I was not losing last enough. I finally contacted my dietitian and she said that I should not compare myself to anyone else because there are so many factors that come into play with the rate that an individual loses. So that is just what I did I have decided that this journey is mine and if I just lose 1 pound a certain week and 3 the next that is ok with me because I am still on the losers bench. Good luck on your journey and hope this helps.
