My goal was 140 pounds. I am now 121 pounds. Enough already. Doctor says I'm fine. I'm worried. You should see my ribs and hip bones. I wear a size 7 junior and size 2 women's. I weigh 7 pounds less than high school weight.

@@SWEETTEA Congrats on your loss. If you are concerned about losing too much - you could try upping your calorie intake (slowly so you can see where you'd be to maintain). I'm still pre-surgery but I get where you are coming from with not wanting to lose too much.

I know it's strange to come on a WLS site and complain about losing to much, but it's all part of it. Unfortunately, it seems I'm only getting 600-800 calories a day. This is including Protein Drinks, which I can't get the whole thing down. I'm only able to eat tiny portions before throwing up. All I want to do is maintain, NOT lose anymore.

As I said Doctor says I'm fine. I've had an endoscopy.

I'm not hungry. I try to eat multiple times a day. I've lost interest is most carbs. Most of them hurt my stomach (Breads, rices, potatoes). Sweets don't really appeal to me. All except my altoids, which I'm addicted to lately.

Mine either! Whenever I read a post like this it gives me hope that I actually can be a thin person, not just a less fat person LOL

Sweet tea.... I know you are in the sleeve forums, but just wanted to check....you had a sleeve, not RNY? What was your starting weight or BMI, if you don't mind my asking?

Just wondering bc I am losing sleep trying to decide between the sleeve and RNY....

Thanks!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
