Hi!
I lost very fast at first, then it slowed down after the first four months. I think I lost about 80 pounds in that time. I am over six months now and have lost about 94 pounds, so it slowed down a lot.
Pre-op, I considered myself averagely muscular. After I lost weight, I either lost some muscle or I was not as muscular as I thought. I think I used my weight for leverage before. Weight is power, but not necessarily strength.
I was exercising four days a week for an hour at a time doing step aerobics, calisthenics, and core exercises. I had been doing it for a couple years prior to my surgery and I continue the same workout afterwards.
I hope that helps! Best wishes to your husband!!
