Recommended Posts

But I'm starting to wonder when I'm going to stop losing weight. I'm 4 pounds from my goal. I'm currently at 139 and I am quite honestly alarmed at how thin I look. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't think I'm bragging in any way. But I told my mom how much weight I've lost and what size I can fit in to and she told me she was worried I was going to waste away and she is worried I wont stop losing. LOL!

Any if our veterans have any advice? I feel like I should try eating more but I don't want to be one of "those people" that gains their weight back. I'm almost 8 months post op so it's not like I've lost my weight very quickly (95 pounds, 80 pounds post surgery).

Help! I'm not sure what to think! Should I be satisfied or worried?

What's your height? I don't think you will be stick thin. Our body knows when to stop. My doctor told me that at 125lbs I'm at a perfect weight & I have 2lbs to goal but I decided I want to be 110lbs instead. I'm trying really hard. I exercise when I can & do eat 3 meals per day. Drink Water & crystal light all day. I snack but very little.

I agree, your body knows what to do

Check a bmi chart to see what would be 'underweight' for your height. If you are still in healthy range, I wouldn't worry.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
