I was wondering how much weight can I expect to loose during the first 6 weeks after my Sleeve? Thank you

Somewhere between more than you would have without your sleeve and less than you want to.

Rate of weight loss can't be predicted because it's really variable and based on, well, a ton of variables. Stick to your plan, you'll lose weight at the rate your body loses weight.

Do you have a hot date 6 weeks out?

Everyone loses differently. I lost about 35lbs from start of pre-op diet (9 days) to 6 weeks post op.

Exactly!! Everyone is different. I am one week post op and lost 34lbs. 2 wks pre op 20lbs. One week post op 14lbs.

But who know....maybe nothing now for a cpl weeks. Ive read all about the dreaded stalls.

Your body will decide. Just follow your program and stages.

How can someone guess how much you will lose? I personally have no crystal ball to know your current weight , your medical history, and even if I did know that, I would still have no answer.

Stick to your plan and you will know when you get there ;)

My best advice, and I am pretty new myself is:

Never Expect Anything.
