Need some suggestions
I know that this isn't probably a question that is asked alot but I am having problems, I'm loosing to much weight. My original surgeon (he has left the practice) wanted me to get down to 150lbs. Now my new surgeon wants me at 160 I was 153 in Sept. So that meant I was to gain a few lbs. Well I am at 140 now and go to see my dr. in 14days. I eat all the time like he told me to do. 6xs a day. Plus I don't have to get as much liquid down like I did when I was loosing. He feels I lost my weight to fast. I just can't eat more than a few bites at a time. It makes me feel full and miserable. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do. There was a long time I couldn't eat meat other than chicken now I have started introducing some beef a little at a time and can get it down. Food also doesn't taste good to me. I know this is in my head and I know all the right things to do about that. But that doesn't seem to help. I would appriciate any help I can get. Thanks Cindy G
heaviest wt 298 wt surgery day 288 wt now 140.
Please do not feel that it is all in your head. I have also lost more weight than I had ever expected and got pretty scared cause I kept losing and now 20 months out I have finally stabilized I went to the dietician and I have increased the frequency of my eating and my protein drinks. I was 300 plus some and now have finally stabilized out at 128. It was getting pretty scary and nothing tastes good to me. Stuff that sounds good I cannot tolerate. I eat pizza, cheese, Beef, Ham stuff like that I like eggs but they don't always like me. I might be able to eat them one day and the next time I get sick from them. Please do not feel or think that it is all in your head it is just the way some of our bodies are. We are all uniquley different in our own special way. We all tolerate things differently and we are all successful your body will stabilize out. Keep in touch and just try to eat don't force it. i eat what I can when i can. I know what it is like not to be hungry and it is weird cause I use to eat non stop an endless pit and it use to be my best friend and now well I really could care less if I eat but I know that I have to eat in order to live. Kind of weird that I had this surgery because of food and medical conditions in order to live and now I use it to survive. Now that I am done with my novel!! I wish you the best and keep positive thoughts! Take care Kim
Thanks for replying. I feel better knowing I am not the only one that has gone through this. I have started eating things I know I am not suppose to. Just to see if I could slow this loss down some. I know this isn't the right thing to do,but I feel like if I start to gain I will just stop eatting them again. Its a whole new experience for me. Thanks again for answering. Hope you have a great holiday season. Cindy G.
