Seeking Others Who Have Met Goal But Cannot Stop Losing.

I am 1 year and 1 week post op. I currently weigh 108 pounds and am 5'1", I am below my goal but feel pretty good. The doctor told me at my last visit 3 months ago that he thought I'd stabilize about 115 but I seem to keep losing. I do eat what I think is a lot compared to what I could eat last summer. Does malabsorption slow down? How concerned should I be? The doctor had told me to add a protein snack during the day, which I have. I also will eat dessert every day (a cookie or two) in an attempt to boost the calories. Of course I am afraid of adding empty calories which is a habit I don't want to be in, but I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem and what should I do?
