How much should I have lost within 8 weeks after sleeve gastrectomy?

Question

I am 41 years old female. My height is 150 cm. I was about 100 kg when I had sleeve gastroctomy. I lost 9 kg by day 9 after surgery. Now after 8 weeks my weight became 86kg. Is it normal? I still eat few bites of small quantities. I dont eat sweets nor white sugar.However, what makes me worried os when I hear people say they lost between 20 and 25 kg within the first 2 months. Please I need to know. Note:I suffer from costipation.

Hello.
Thanks for your time, and the question.
It normally depends remember every human body is different. The first month you can lose between 15 to 30 pounds, the second month 10 to 15 pounds, and then the third month up to 10 pounds.On regards to your constipation remember you should drink lots of water and walk. After 2 days of doing this, things should start moving again, If it does not work try adding prune into your diet. Always following up with a certified bariatric surgeon.
Good luck in this journey, blessings .!
