Anyone worried about being "too skinny"?



Recommended Posts

I know WEIRD question! At first, I thought - anything smaller then I am, is better! But then, I have seen quite a few people who look ....sick.. After having WLS, as if the life were sucked out of them! I want to look healthy & happy, not sick! Plus, I do not wish to be "skinny"! I would love to keep my Latina curves, & feel beautiful! Any one on the same boat as me? Hope I am not alone in this one!

Yeah, I never thought I'd say it, but yeah it's a tiny concern. I figured worst case scenario- ill just eat more. Lol! It's funny how my brain works. I have some serious issues. I think that I could lose more, but I wear a baggy size 2. Never thought that would happen. Oddly, I see myself as normal sized that could lose a few pounds. It's crazy.

from things I've read, you will hit your lowest weight and then gain some back as your body works things out. And if you think you are to skinny, do strength training to build muscle, and try and increase your calories. I think people get that sickly look about them when they aren't getting proper nutrition or adequate Water.< /p>

You are so funny, I can't wait to be too skinny (if that ever happen's) but I understand what she means about some people looking sick and withdrawn! I just wish to be healthy and beautiful and not shop in the plus size section anymore :)

Better than worrying about being to fat! But seriously no! I have never gotten any smaller than a 6 and I was 12 years old. I am waiting for the fat lady to let the skinny lady emerge!

I think I'll ask myself that once I get to my goal which is still 34 lbs away. Once there, THEN and only then, will I think I would worry about getting too thin. Like others says, if I'd lose more than I want, I'll add more calories or even more strength training than I'm doing now. :-)

I have curves too and I don't want to be sickly looking. I know exactly what you were referring to when you mentioned that. We all want to be healthy and fit not too fat and not too skinny. So, as long as you are eating well, drinking lots of Water. and strength training you should be fine. When I hit goal (long road ahead) I will repost on here on this thread if I can find it. :D

I don't think it's going to happen loss slows down a bit as you approach goal I think I could figure out a way to stop losing right now if i wanted to but I want to lose 25 more ...I will still have curves in the right places at 130 I am 5'2.5.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
