jess9395 5,449 Posted January 5, 2017 You are 155lbs. Are you healthy? So you truly need to lose more or are those last pounds vanity pounds? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshinetinaz 30 Posted January 5, 2017 I am 5'2. I believe I should lose more. I'd like to be in my 140's. I've made my workouts more intense. I am still only at about 2oz of food so I don't think my body can eat any less. I do about 700 calories a day. Tops. I have developed sever anemia so I have to be careful. I don't know if any of those thinks play a role in my stand still. It's frustrating Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted January 5, 2017 You are 155lbs. Are you healthy? So you truly need to lose more or are those last pounds vanity pounds? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App This is such a great point. I, being the perfectionist I am and a little OCD, would have loved to lose an even 100 pounds and get to 135. But alas, my body said NOPE and stopped at my low of 141, and I hang out now at 143-145 pretty comfortably. I tried losing more using various methods, but to no avail. But I can deal. I'm healthy and happy with how I look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try increasing your calories. What do you eat EXACTLY? Do you keep a food log? How many grams of Protein do you have a day? Carbs? Why can you only eat 2 ounces at a time at 1.5 years? Do you have a stricture? You had surgery 2 weeks before me and I can eat 4 ounces of dense Protein and have been able to for at least 6 months. If you can really only eat 2 ounces at time then eat every 2 hours and make sure you get your calories and protein in. If that means adding a Protein shake to get your calories and protein up then do it. Are you taking Iron pills? Are you taking a Multivitamin? Are you taking B-12? I got really anemic a couple months ago after slacking off on Iron pills and I could hardly function. I was dizzy all the time. I take these iron pills https://www.nowfoods.com/supplements/iron-18-mg-veg-capsules They do no cause Constipation and they don't make me sick like most iron pills.
