Has Anyone Lost To Much Weight Or Cant Stop Losing Weight After Hitting There Goal?

[Lucky Lady 702 3]

I'm asking because a friend of my cousins said she regrets her surgery because now she can't stop losing weight and is having a hard time gaining weight I find this hard to believe but I'm curious if this has happen to anyone??

my husband had the sleve and DS 3 years ago and for a short period of time he lost too much but he slowly gained it back and now has been able to maintain at a good place for him. the only problem in getting too low is if you get sick you have no cushion.

It's pretty easy to gain weight with a sleeve--milkshakes work, so does fried food and candy. Sometimes it takes a little while to achieve balance in maintenance but I don't know of anyone who can't stop losing. More often, I see people who stop fifteen or twenty pounds above goal because they can't get the last bit off.

I got a little worried...I wanted to weigh 135 pounds and I hit 110 after the stomach flu this past Dec...that was too much. I added a few things to my diet (not junk! I chose things with more fat and a Protein Bar almost everyday). I am still more than 10 pounds below my goal but much happy here and staying put!

I also find it hard to understand....We ALL knoow how to gain weight, as we did it for years.....all she has to do is add in a few foods that have higher fat, carbs, or calories..it's not rocket science....lol

unless she's going for the good old "poor me....factor...help, i can't stop losing weight....what do i do.....lol

I remember worrying about this after I got my sleeve. The lowest weight I ever hit was 136 lbs and all of sudden I became VERY hungry and unable to control myself. But as soon as I let my weight climb 2-3 lbs, the hunger decreased. Whenever I tried to get down to 136 again, I would get ridiculously hungry again. I found it impossible to get below that weight. Yet I have no trouble maintaining in the low 140s (I've put on some muscle since, so I actually have a lower bodyfat % at 141 than I did at 136). I'm big-boned and I found that when I weighed less, I was quite bony, whereas with a few extra pounds of muscle, I look much healthier.

I have heard a few cases of this. My cousin's wife has lost too much weight at this point. She looks gaunt. I don't know if it's because she is too strict or just unable to eat enough. It's kind of scary. I really do think that she will be able to gain some weight back after she stretches her sleeve a bit. It doesn't stay quite as small as it was the first few months after surgery. It CAN happen, but it doesn't usually happen. I agree with the above poster who said that most people settle just a bit above their goal. It really depends on the person.
