This request is really rather ridiculous. Everyone loses weight at different rates. It also depends on your starting weight.

I'm a believer that there is no such thing as a stupid question. That's why we are here on OH to offer support and answer questions. With that being said, you do need to remember that we all are on our own personal journey and will lose weight at varying rates.
I weigh myself everyday so here's my stats for the first 12 weeks:

SW: 261 50 years old 5'3.5"

week 1: 15.8 LBS
week 2: 1.8 lbs
week 3: 4 lbs
week 4: .6 lbs
week 5: 4.2 lbs
week 6: 2 lbs
week 7: 3.6 lbs
week 8: 3.6 lbs
week 9: 4 lbs
week 10: 1.4 lbs
week 11: 4.6 lbs
week 12: 1.8 lbs

Total loss for first 12 weeks is 47.4 lbs

Good luck!

Absolute weight is not meaningful. What's more important is EWL (Excess Weight Lost). This was based on my 'target' weight of 140lbs for a 'normal' BMI of 24.9. Here's my cumulative EWL by week for the first 13 weeks postop:

-6.05%
-8.57%
-12.94%
-16.13%
-19.33%
-22.52%
-25.21%
-30.59%
-32.77%
-35.80%
-38.91%
-39.83%

I was at close to 40% EWL at 3 months. 66% at 6 months, 91% at 9 months, and 100% at 10.5 months. I'm at 107% right now. Different surgeons have different targets. Mine wants to see 60% at 6 months. I was a bit ahead of the curve.

I will advise to not worry about "Normal". Focus on cotrolling your Diet and Exercise. Meet your daily goals and the weight will come off. MEasure your portions, Journal your food. Do what you know you need to do.

Here are my Numbers through this week. I have incomplete numbers for some weeks so take with a grain of salt.

I had my surgery on 11/2 and dont have data for that week or the week after. I didn't start weighing until the 8th. You will see, it's highly variable.

Week	Weight Lost	BMI Change	% EBW Lost
46	-5.1	-0.6	-3.2%
47	-7.0	-0.9	-4.4%
48	-3.6	-0.5	-2.3%
49	-1.7	-0.2	-1.1%
50	-4.8	-0.6	-3.0%
51	-2.5	-0.3	-1.6%
52	-3.6	-0.5	-2.3%
53	-7.4	-0.9	-4.7%
1	-3.0	-0.4	-1.9%
2	-4.0	-0.5	-2.5%
3	-0.5	-0.1	-0.3%

I depends solely on your starting weight and how much you put into it really. The heavier the starting weight, the faster you loose generally. I gained my first week from the fluids, but here is my loss rate.

Starting weight 227

1 Week pre-op, -216 (9lbs)
Day of surgery after fasting -213 (3lbs)
Week 1-216 (3lb gain)
Week 2 -216 (no loss)
Week 3 - 208 (8lbs)
Week 4- 204 (4lbs)
Week 5 - 202 (2lbs)
Week 6 - 202 (no loss)
Week 7 - 199 (3lbs)
Week 8 - 198.5 (1.5lbs)
Week 9 - 195.5 (3lbs)
Week 10 - 191 (4.5lbs)
Week 11 - 190 (1lb)
Week 12 - 188.5 (1.5lbs)
Week 13 - 185 (3.5lbs)
Week 14 - 183 (3lbs)
Week 15 - 181 (2lbs)
Week 16 - 179 (2lbs)
Week 17 - 176 (3lbs)
Week 18 - 173.5 (2.5lbs)
Week 19 - 171 (2.5lbs)

I hit the 50lb loss at 3.5 months out.

If you are curious- I have my weekly weight losses (and gains!) on my blog for anyone to see.. I also grouped my totals in 4wk blocks, so I could see trends.
