Anyone feel they have lost to much weight?



Recommended Posts

Looking to hear if anyone feels like they have lost to much weight? I have been to a few support groups and some people look VERY skinny

I'm always curious about how much people weigh whom other people think are too skinny.

I'm 5'5" and 138 pounds and 70 years old. Would that be "too skinny" to you?

Oh to have that problem... I am 5'3" and 145. Happy with that but wouldn't mind being "skinny". LOL

I'm at a low-ish weight for my height but I don't feel like it's too little. I also don't feel like it's the sleeve preventing me from gaining weight. I have to be careful or I could gain weight I think quite easily. It's not like the sleeve prevents me from eating so I keep losing weight.. It would be fairly easy for me to gain if I chose to.

I'm guessing you asked this because you are afraid of ending up drastically underweight and unable to gain. I don't think that happens very often.

I have had a few people tell me I'm too skinny (my husband being one of them, but he's very change-averse). But at 5'6" 135lbs, 46 years old, 18% body fat, I'm in a healthy range.

The plastic surgeon who did my work did tell me not to lose any more, but I have no intention of doing that.

Perhaps it's just because the average American woman is now a size 12 I believe? A size 4 probably looks quite skinny.

No. You sound perfect to me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
