Weight loss at 14 mo post op

[Angel46 2]

Hi ive been eating really wrong things since THANKSGIVING but im still losing weight, actually more. Is this normal?? And why is this happening

Who knows, but why question it? LOL. Maybe you've broken a stall...maybe the hectic pace of the holidays is giving you more exercise than you realize? Maybe you're eating fewer calories than you think, even though you're indulging a bit?

If you'e really concerned, maybe get a physical and have some lab work done to make sure all is well. Are you feeling well? Any other concerning symptoms?

If not...count your blessings and enjoy it!

that's not going to last forever. Focus on developing healthy habits. It gets way harder the farther out you get.

addendum - wait - you're a year out and dropping weight while eating crap? I thought at first you were a new post-op. If there's no way to explain that, then I'd mention it to my doctor.

I think you need to call your doctor. It may turn out to be something simple, but I sure would want to know.

Agreed. A good physical and some blood work sounds like a very good idea.

I think you're describing the text-book definition of "good luck". <GRIN>

Maybe you were eating too little? In the past when I have lost weight on my own, if I did it using a really low calorie diet, I would have the same thing happen. It was only temporary and eventually if I continued, I would end up gaining. It did help to break stalls though, sometimes you have to eat more.

I dropped weight until
About 15 months- basically eating whatever the crap I wanted too. Literally. I mean very little of it but still-whatever I wanted . It stopped at 18 months. I gained 5 pounds then - enough to freak me out
