I finally got 'sleeved' June 2020, and I lost 10 pounds in first week. I guess it is almost all loss of water. After that it goes surprisingly slowly, about 1 pound a week. I thought it would go faster. Is that normal, what is your experience?
Everyone's different. Took me about 9 months to lose all my weight. I bet it will speed up soon!
Everyone loses at differing times. In the beginning it will drop off, slow down, speed up, plateau, you name it, it will probably happen.
You will soon fall into a steady loss. Keep doing what you are doing, keep to the rules, and enjoy the ever decreasing you :-)
I had my surgery November 4, 2014 and hit goal of 130 in May (6 months). I lost all the way down to 102, but gained back to an average weight of 117 in 2017 and have hung out around that since.
No pre-op diet

It's a learning process; trust the tool; protein, vegetables, water water water
