(I developed an ulcer wich i am taking care of now. I am scared i am eating alot more than ever, but I am not gaining any weight. what have any one of you heard, should I do?
Wow. I'm sure stumped. If you're eating a lot, but still losing weight, that's pretty weird! You need to speak with your bariatric surgeon. If you are dangerously underweight - and it sounds like you are - he or she might actually consider putting a feeding tube in so that you can get enough nutrition. Let us know what you find out. - Stephanie J
