At a loss & Losing to much!!
I am losing to much weight! While my weight loss has slowed down to almost a crawl, the problem is I am still losing! I try to eat lots of protein and healthy items as well as some not so healthy ones but I continue to lose weight and I am entering into the danger zone of being underweight according to BMI standars. So does anyone have a good idea about how to gain weight back? I am really starting to worry about this...
I think i wish i had this problem :o( i have heard people say eat nuts, and full fat cheese and full fat milk products, i'm sure you'll hear from someone *****ally has this problem, i would guess you should just eat more if you can, You might want to go to the VSG Maintanance Group and ask this question there , good luck :o) jeani
I asked my doctor about this since I am a low BMI patient. He said there would probably be an initial dip down as much as 20 pounds below where I wanted to be but not to worry becuase it would stabalize and bounce back. You're slowing down, I bet you find bottom soon :)
If not contact your doctor, being healthy is most important :-)

Time put on weight in a good way. If you have the energy then it is time to start building muscle. If you have a dietician then maybe you can speak with them about how to shift your diet from a "weight loss" diet to a mass building diet. That may mean increasing your protein and water drastically and not worrying about your intake otherwise. Also, you may look into a trainer to get an idea on how to build muscle where you want it.
BTW, I'm in Houston as well. I live in the Westheimer/Montrose area. I just converted from Lap-Band to sleeve about 3 weeks ago. As soon as I get the green light from my doctor I am hitting up a trainer to get started on building muscle mass. It's my last hope to fix my bat wings and inner thighs. My belly, well I'll do the best I can and the rest is a lost cause.
Good luck.

Are you working with a nutritionist? If not, do you have a family practice doc you trust to work with? I know a lot of us are thinking we'd like to have this problem, but the reality is that is probably not true--it could feel scary and like you're disappearing & don't have control. If you're trying to up calories and still losing weight, you may need to add in something like ensure, but again, I'd work with someone I trusted and make a plan. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

The best thing I did to get my weight to stabilize was incorporate healthy fats, and 100% juice into my daily intake. Avocados, nuts, peanut butter, full fat cheese, more carbs were essential for my losing to stop.
I know it is very scary, and overwhelming, but you need to incorporate more calories, healthy fats, and carbs. I never went off and started eating pure junk food because it made me feel horrible. It took me a solid 4-5 months to get into maintenance.
