Anyone start @ 230lb weight ?

I was wondering what the average time line is for loosing the weight after the VSG for anyone in the 230 lb range?
Cheers,

I was 263 when I started, 251 the day of surgery and lost over 135 lbs in 10 mos which I have easily kept off since. I dont know if that is average but that is my experience..
I was 52 years old when I had my surgery and 5 ft tall.

Everyone's results will be different, based not just on weight, but also on height, activity level, diet, BMR, etc.

I started at 224. I'm 5'5" and have had what I consider a moderate rate of loss with a balanced diet & moderate calories. I could lose faster with low calories/carbs, but I am not keen on eating less than 1000 calories per day.

 I was 236 when I was sleeved. I am one year out today and I weigh 164 today. My weight bounces between 161 and 165, depending on what I have been eating. I hit 165 in February, so it has been easy to maintain my weight. I really dont want to lose more, I am happy right where I am. 

I started at 228.8 pre-op 221 day of and I am losing right at about 1 lb per day but like others have everyone loses at different rates. I really believe that if you exercise you will increase your rate SIGNIFICANTLY. I can't WAIT to hit up the gym. I expect my weight loss to move to more like 3 lbs per day once I start my exercise regimen.

I wouldn't count on 3 lbs per day.  Don't set yourself up for failure with unrealistic expectations.  Sorry to rain on your parade, but the weight won't come off that fast after the first few weeks, especially as a light weight.  Just don't want you to be disappointed.  You would have to have a 10500 calorie deficit PER DAY to lose 3 lbs per day.

No rain over here. As I mentioned everyone's body is different so maybe the weight didn't come off fast for you in the first few weeks, but that may be the opposite for me.  3 lbs does seem a little unrealistic, but it really depends on what I eat and how I work out. Thanks for your thoughts though and good luck with your weight loss.

I wasn't talking about my loss or comparing it to yours.  I just see people too often come to expect the weight to continue to come off super fast, so when they hit 4 days with no loss they freak out or post that they *only* lost 3 lbs in a week.  Just trying to help people keep it realistic so they aren't disappointed later. A pound of fat equates to 3500 calories.  After the large initial water weight losses, it's hard to sustain a pound (or more) a day unless you literally burn 4000 calories a day.

I started out at 233.5 pounds and as of this morning I have lost 73 pounds. I'm three days away from my seven month surgery anniversary.

i didn't have the preop diet so i started out at 243 day of surgery and i'm a couple days away from being one month out and i've lost 29 lbs.. its been comming off about a lb a day... but i have a very active job, plus i do p90x.
