Loosing too much weight



Recommended Posts

Friends,

Have any of you experienced too much weight-loss? I started at 402 and 18 months later I'm 159. I was 184 just 6 weeks ago and that was perfect for me and my doctors. Has anyone else found themselves unable to stop dropping pounds?

Yes. I had this happen. I started at 248 surgery date. At 14 months I was at 130 and pretty comfortable. My surgeon predicted I would end at 124. I kept going past that and went to 113. I was eating my Protein and drinking my Water and making sure I got my exercise in. I tried seeing my nutritiinist who told me I needed to add calories and should start drinking Ensure. I did not do Ensure. At 17 months I picked up a pound and at 18 months I went to 116. I am holding firm at that weight. It will be 2 years in April. It just seemed that my body knew where it wanted to stop and did what it had to do to end healthy. Dont be afraid. You have done wonderful. Trust yourself. Your brain and body will work this out. Good Luck.

What is your success. You must be doing something right. Have you increased your calories a bit

I eat anything I want because after after 4 to 6 ounces, I'm done.

But you should know that I've had post-op complications. I got multiple infections, stomach leaked, 4 surgeries and so on and so on.

Hope you have healed and mended and are now enjoying your new life! Congrats on your dramatic losses!

Are you ounces by volume or weight? So you're talking 3/4cup to 1cup?

My surgeon and RD said the 1 cup maximum volume is for life. What you put into that 1cup depends on if you're gaining or losing or maintaining.

Looks like you are just barely in your normal range. I wouldn't worry, but would try to max out your nutrition at every meal so you are getting the most nutrient dense food you can get.

Thank you.

These charts are crap. If anything they show you what is too thin if you fit in their normal range. The real concern is that I dropped 25 pounds over the past 5-6 weeks. 18 months into this my weight should be stabilizing - maybe drop a pound a week and even seeing a few weeks where I gain a bit.

Have you seen any physicians about this issue yet? Are they concerned? Why do they think you’ve lost weight?recently?

I brought up my concern a few weeks back. I had just went below 170 at the time. Doctor wasn't overly concerned. Mention drinking a weight gain shake. He is supposed to call me after I notified his office yesterday what my weight had d5opped down too. Still waiting for that call.

Eat a little more, add more Protein to your meals, I down again to 116 lbs, my case is a little different with achalasia 3, it's hard for me, to maintain weight but I noticed just extra bits slowly helps even when not hungry. Best of luck

I’m 2 years out and haven’t had the complications u have had but I do what you do, i stabilised at 18 months at 8 half stone but then have started to fluctuate between that , I drop to 8 stone then slowly gain, then it happens again
I can drop 7kg in 2 weeks then it goes back on, like you I eat whatever I want, even bad things just trying to maintain is the hardest part
I drink gold top milk , each nutrient rich foods, meet my Water goals and Protein goals
It’s like my body can’t decide if it wants to be 8 stone or 8 and. A half
Lowest weight was 7 stone 8 pounds
I agree those charts are rubbish
My dietician has always been happy with my weight loss
I’m just gonna have to get used to being called skinny

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
