It has or is finally happening, I am getting those not so good looks. The facial snarls that go with those looks are not pleasant either.

I do not mean physical looks. I mean the looks from others.

It is starting to happen on a regular basis. People will come up to me and say "Your done now,right?", "You can't lose any more weight" "Your nothing but skin and bones" The list can go on and on.

I know I am skin and bones. I am reminded of that daily in the full length mirror. Am I working on stopping the weight lose, heck yeah. Do I want to become malnourished-Heck no! Is it hard to stop it? YES!

Your/My body is going to do what it is going to do. I might still drop a pound or two, I might get some kick back, I might stay where I am at now.

If I were to fall lower then what my body feels is healthy etc.. I would/will seek out medical advice from my doctors,NUT and other medical professional people.

Do, I sound upset, if so I am sorry. I am NOT upset. People just need to know, It is not as easy as they think. It is not a light switch that you just flip up and down to make things stop

Ok, this kind of turned into a rant, sorry LOL
Best of days to all of you and pray for some warmer weather! Snow in the beginning of Oct is crazy!

No need to apologize. That is what this board is for is to vent and look for help. We know that you have looked for help and I hope that things improve for you.
By the way, I set a new personal best in the 5k walk this morning. Took 5 minutes off of the 5k walk in May.

Kelly,

It is happening to me too... talk about feeling guilty!! Even my family is telling me "ok, enough now... are you sick??" ... arghhhhhhh.... It can be so frustrating!  First having to explain why I am losing weight so fast and now having to explain that Yes, it will stop and yes, I am ok, and YES THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL!!!  Good grief! I need a good comeback for these people! lol 

Talk to you soon,

Amy

Tinker Bell, Amy and Others....This is happening to me also.  I am  7 pounds UNDER projected goal set by Dr. Bruderer and it will be one year since I had my lap RNY November.  I just tell people that my body will stop losing weight when IT is ready  and until I hear my surgeon's recommendations, I will just wait and see what happens.  Why do people assume that you MUST BE SICK????  Hell, I WAS sick, that's why I had the surgery in the first place and now I'm finally Healthy!!   Aaaah, but I do enjoy the attention!!  haha.  I feel great, look great and  life is good!!
