Can not stop losing weight ! hit my goal and than some

[Scottyd1264 73]

I had revision surgery from the band, and now I cannot stop losing.... Really not a good thing.

Increase calories - try some good carbs and good fats! It's not a problem I ever envision having - but I imagine it's not good!

Yeah, I can see you'd have a problem after VSG surgery done to lose 35 pounds.

What does your surgeon advise?

Not sure what you mean by

"Yeah, I can see you'd have a problem after VSG surgery done to lose 35 pounds"

My mother had this problem--she was sleeved a year & a half ago and lost around 150 lbs in the first year. She has a hard time eating a lot at a time w/ acid reflux. She's since gained 10-12 lbs, but is around 5'8 and 140. She kind of got scared that if she were to get sick, she'd lose more. Never thought that losing too much could be a problem until I watched her go through it. Good luck increasing calories!

I simply mean that sleeve surgery works to restrict severely the volume of food you can eat. That's why many people lose weight "effortlessly" for at least six months, sometimes losing 100 pounds or more during that time. Your profile looks like you wanted to lose only 35 pounds.

You have boarded a train that takes a long time to slow down. Eating high fat, high carb food would help to slow it faster.

Your surgeon may have better ideas.

When I hit my surgeon's goal (160) I started upping my calories in the form of more fat and whole grains. I kept losing and passed my personal goal (150) about 6 weeks later. I continued to increase my calories until I finally quit losing....20 pounds below surgeons goal and 10 pounds below personal goal. But I was still within normal BMI and OK with how I looked. I've recently lost another 5 pounds, but again, it's something I'm OK with.

Basically, if you don't want to lose anymore You have to start eating more.... nuts, nut butters, fruit, whole grains, and full fat dairy products are easy ways to add healthy calories.

Loosing too much weight is a problem I would like to have

I'd go see a the doctor could be you need to increase calories or could be something very serious... And I read a comment that reminded me of the movie Thinner....
