hi I am approx. 4.5 years out since my surgery, and all of a sudden a couple of months ago I just started losing weight and now I am having a hard time gaining and sustaining weight. I am going between 126-and 133 now, but I have to eat constantly to sustain that. Ideally my dr and I feel I should be at least 150 to be healthy, but I would be happy with 145lbs. Please if anyone has had this experience or has any references where to get help or information to stop the weight loss, or what might be doing this please email me Stacie mszoiebearatyahoodotcom

Hi Stacie, I have had a hard time maintaining my weight as well due to a long list of complications I have had. I found the only thing that stablized me was TPN through a PICC line. I know it isn't fun walking around w/a plug in your but you have to do what you have to do! GOOD LUCK! Feel better soon.

I had to drink a high caloric beverage to up my calories in order not to lose. I drank a lot of carb countdown until I realized I was lactose intolerant and that the splenda was irritating me. (I was sugar intolerant prior to WLS.) My doctor also advised me to "break the rules" such as drinking with meals. I was told that if I didn't get my weight stabilized there was an enzyme they would perscribe to me to slow digestion down and thereby maintain more calories. However, I do not remember the name of the enzyme. Best, Vanessa
