Anyone feel they lost too much weight?



Recommended Posts

It will be my 2 year surgiversary on January 27 and I feel like I’ve lost too much weight but cannot gain any back. I attempted to eat more but I just feel sick when I eat more than what I am use to. I am currently 135lbs and felt great at 145-150. Anyone else having this issue?

Give us an average day menu with macros, maybe we can throw out some tips that might help? Include if something is low fat/low carb or diet versions!

Congrats on being at goal (or below)! I think from what I've read, that you may stay "low" in year two but then for no reason in year 3, begin to gain again. For me, if I am not losing, then I am not gonna worry about exceeding my goal. I might instead look at totally maximizing my food/vitamins/minerals, so I feel more energy? ((hugs))

Good Luck! My goal is to ultimately be at 135 but that is my goal, not my doctors goal. He has not given me a goal yet.. I may ask him at my next visit on the 22nd of Feb.

Make sure you are at a healthy BMI and not underweight. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/obesity/in-depth/bmi-calculator/itt-20084938.

Talk to your surgeons team about what foods/calorie range to eat to gain weight. Try to eat five or more small meals a day. This may help to raise calories without feeling sick.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
