It really varies from person to person, depending on their starting weight, how well they adhere to their eating plan, how often they exercise and how much the band is dimming their appetite. For myself, at the beginning of my journey, I was losing close to 4lbs a week. I'm now settled in at about 1 to 2lbs a week. I have enough fluid in my band (i think), but the difference is that at the beginning I made such a dramatic change from unhealthy (lots of nachos & fried things) to healthy (baked, grilled protein & veggies). Hope this helps with your decision.
