Looking for others who are unable to stop weight loss.

Thank you for your advice. I am closer to the 1500 mark about 80% of the time and eat as much as I can each day.  This is a medical issue and has been ongoing since day one.  

If you are losing weight on 1500, eat 1700. And to get that 1700, eat higher calorie foods. Use whole milk not skimmed, add butter to veggies. Adding a few hundred calories can be done without any increase in the quantity of food. 

Geez, 1300 calories I average logging in every morsel - and I am constantly moving around.  I don't loose a single pound.  I am just curious, what made you overweight?  If you have the tendency to gain I would ride this out.  Our sleeved stomachs are simply restrictive.  So unless you have something else going on with your metabolic system if I were you, I'd keep where I am at and trust that my weight will stabilize.  It is not like you are not taking in a good amount of nutrition.

Hmmm I have so many ideas about what you can eat to gain weight  or at least stabilize.  You can add some  dairy (cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese  - milk to your protein shake etc.) nuts, protein . . .  peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter  DELISH!!!

All Best to you,

Layla

Eat more. If you are having psychological issues with eating more, find a good therapist.

second this!

add nuts, oils, or other fats if you can't get more volume.  

If it was this simple I wouldn't be having the problem.  I would probably be gaining weight.  I do eat as much as possible.

The key usually is to not eat more as far as volume, but to eat more highly concentrated calorie food.  Nut butters, nuts, avocadoes, adding extra oil to your food can easily add an extra 300-400 calories a day to your diet without adding much volume at all.  

I still lose weight on 1500 calories a day as long as I'm exercising but I'm only 5'3".  Hope you can find a solution to this soon! 

Then you probably eating the wrong foods.  Adding high quality of fats to your diet would not add volume - but it will add calories. drinking fruit juice instead of water- will add liquid calories.. Trust me - i have been there..  it can be done with no medical intervention.

Thank you for your replies.  I was hoping to meet someone that is struggling as I am.  I know the advice is given with good intentions but after a year of complications food is not my issue.  My body is.

I just wanted a friend that would understand.

Maybe try a group for anorexics.  they may understand.  

if you need more calories -- that is very doable.  have a spoonful of peanut butter, a weight gain shake, some salami, an ice cream -- its not hard.  getting more then 1000 or 1500 calories / day is not hard if you are determined.
