No, not yet snyway. Keep on those vitamins and I bet you will feel much better.

Your body has its own wisdom. Trust it. It will stop losing when it's right for you. Your skin will adjust somewhat, but you may want to consider having some excess skin removed a couple of years after you have stabilized. :)

I get where you are coming from. I listened to people on here and did what it took to not look older. I've lost friends that can't deal with me feeling self respect now. It's all give and take. I'm tired of taking and am putting myself first. Is that so bad?

I'm still early on, but people are already telling me I need to stop. I have 40 to go. So I guess I get it to a point. Personally, I am and feel healthy. I am 52 so I fully expect an have wrinkles. I embrace them. All part of my journey. Maybe it isn't the "skinny " part that bothers you but just catching up to your real self? Try talking to someone to sort it out. Gaining weight, unless your doc agrees, is NOT an answer. Hang in there and fond ways to celebrate yourself as you are!!!!!

I didn't feel like I was to thin but after my revision my surgeon told me I needed to gain back some. My argument was i was at the low normal range of the BMI chart..........his was those charts are for twenty somethings or athletes neither of which i am. Personally at almost 50 I was a bit insulted lol.

so end of story I have regained over the year since that talk. not a great deal but my body kind of took its control back and is finding its happy place .

I hope you get back on your vitamins. There's so much we can't get anymore just from eating, epecially if you had a bypass. Mine was a sleeve, and I can tell within 3 or 4 days if I run out of vitamins before payday. I drag, get tired and lethargic, and it affects my sleep and ability to concentrate.

As to being too thin, talk it over with your surgeon. He/She'll have a better idea of what your ideal weight will be based on your body type and structure.

Don't hesitate to get some emotional support, especially if what your head says conflicts with your medical professional. It's a pretty easy transition from one eating disorder to a different one if we're susceptible.

Take care and I hope you feel better about things soon.

It is definitely an adjustment being a different size. I went down 25 pounds past my goal of 150. I went down 125. I feel the best between 127-135. Your body will find it's new set point

I started at over 300 lbs. Surgeon's goal - 165. Nutritionist's goal - 125. I breezed past 165 and landed on 125 (just 2 lbs lower than "overweight," accordint to the BMI scales. It would have been lower if I hadn't freaked out and not tried to artificially met the metrics!

Huh?? Not sure where "meet the metrics" came from??

Should have said.... "stop the weight loss."

I started eating nuts, guacamole, and other stuff to slow/stop the weight loss.
