Hey everybody. I know it's been along time but I haven't been doing good. As you know I had my 1 yr annv, in June this year. I started out at 367, weighed 309 day of surgery. My goal and the doc's was 190 pound's. Well I am at 160 and still dropping. I am doing everything I can, I am scared to death of dying. My blood pressure stays low, I have no energy, food taste nasty most the time. I brush my tongue often I was told that may help with the taste buds.I was supposed to of gained atleast 20 lb's since this last hospital release, per Dr Huse. Welp, I have dropped even more weight. I am eating anythiong I can but my stomach is still small, I am looking for any idea's at all. I can't keep dropping like this, I look terrible! People don't know me when they see me, is a good thing lol. Family and boyfriend are worried about me, you can tell I am sick, too skinny. I always wanted to be skinny all my life, but now I want to be a healthy 190 or 200 pound's! Never in my life did I ever think someone would tell me I was UNDERWEIGHT nor Malnutrioned! That is new for me lol.Alot of people I know at this point in their new life can eat great, and a few had already started putting weight on, not good I know.Any help is much appreciated.  xoxoxoxo, Cindy 367/309/160

Wow what a problem.  Certainly there are 160 lb people that are healthy. What do your labs say? Do you need more protein, b12 or b1? I can only say find a NUT that can help you find food you can tolerate and eat that 5 or 6 times a day.

2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou has done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

Cindy, I'm sorry you're having this problem. I would guess you should probably work closely with the dietician to see what they recommend. I don't know what I would do. I guess it would be a hard balance between the fear of losing too much, and the fear of gaining too much.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I have no answers for you, and I know that is what you are looking for. Please do all your doctors and dieticians tell you to do. *hugs* I am praying for you.

Cindy, Im so sorry you are having a hard time.  I dont think I can help you much but I wanted to ask if you are getting in all your vitamins.  If not thats very important and if you cant eat I would suggest you start drinking the Atkins protien drinks in a can...they will help get in protein and vitamins all in one.   Im like you in that I have wanted all my life to be a healthy wt...however, Im still not to my goal yet.  I would like to be 160-180.  Im still at 208 today.  Not moved in a month. At least Im not gaining.

I am 5'8 and my goal weight is 160.  I am already down to 196 and am only 13 weeks out of surgery.  I am starting to get nervous that I am going to get to skinny.  I can see how you would feel small at 6 foot.  I already have people telling me at this weight that am am skinny.  So I am not sure how I will feel at 160.  I wish the best for you.  The only thing I know to tell you is to try and up your carbs.  Rebekah
