Weight loss
Definitely also depends on how far out you are from surgery. My first month I lost 28 lbs...second month 11...third month 15...I would say im averaging about 2.5-3lbs a week at this point...but a loss is a loss right? I've had a couple weeks where I lost 1.8...and I'm cool with that...as long as the scale is moving, and in the right direction :)
I lost 7lbs the first week, 22lbs the first month and I average typically 2-2.5lbs a week now. I have been lucky, I am close to 6 months post op and have not had a stall, I take any loss I can get and work my butt off to get it! The scale is still moving in the downward direction and that is ok with me!
At my 3 month post op appointment my surgeon wanted to yell at me because she said I was losing faster then her bypass patients...but then she said after reviewing my food log, protein log, exercise log and labs...there wasn't anything she could find to yell about. =)
