Losing too much weight Need Help

I am looking for a PCP who can help me with issue to gain back weight. I had a RNY over 2/1/2 yrs ago and contine to lose weight. My surgeron and doctor has blown me off with my concern. If any one knows of a doctor, medicines, suggestions to help me I would appreciate the help. I'm 5'6" and 139, would like to gain 10-15 lbs back. I look so frail and tired.......... would love to feel and look healthy again.

Sarah! Don't dispair!! You have to UP your carbs and calorie intake. I have to eat every 2-3 hours. If I don't I will drop 5-10 lbs in one night! And I am not joking. I have had to fight to gain 10lbs back so that I was not sick looking. I am 5'8" and got down to 132lbs. Everyone said I looked terrible and I had to agree with them. I am currently in the 150's and feel ALOT better about that. There are some people who do have problems keeping weight on! You are not alone and all you have to do is up your intake! I know you have surgery to lose weight but some of us have the side effect of losing TO much! You will level out I promise you! You will actually get sick of eatting if you can believe that! Good Luck and feel free to contact me whenever you want or Kevin Phillips. He has the same problem!

Sarah, I am close to two years out and I agree with Tammi, up the carbs and you will start to add weight. I am 5 '5 and went to 133 which I think is perfect for me, but I added 3 pounds anow my pants are tight on me. although, I did weights and muscle building exercise through the last 2 years that gave me the healthy look (in clothes at leastL. I think the reason the PCP are not concerned is because that is at the normal weight for your heighth. After 2 years I am watching my weight and upping the exercise. Keep us posted on your progress. Take care, Janice

If you are 5'6", you can be as low as 117 or as high as 143. This is based on your body frame. I learned this at Weigh****chers years ago, and it was still the same the last time I checked. I'm 5'4" and my doctor never gave me a 'goal weight'. I could be as low as 108 or as high as 132. I want to get down to 130 lbs before I have my tummy tuck.
