First...I've had a glass of wine and am feeling really tipsy.  But...I called Dr. Loggins office today because I'm scared.  The scale read 118.6 pounds yesterday morning.  I was doing a little dance but then stopped and thought "this can't be good".  At my 1 year post-op Dr. L said I should gain 10 pounds but since then I've lost almost 9!!!  My BMI is 20.49 so I'm not "underweight" but pretty close.  My DH is worried because I can't seem to stop the loss.  I feel WONDERFUL no tiredness or dizziness...I just feel great!!  I have an appt. with a recommended psych for next week.  Holly wasn't returning Crystal's calls so she referred me to Dr. Dorn.  Anyone seen him?  I'm back on my Effexor and Prozac.  I don't want to stop lossing...I want to go lower but I'm being told I look anorexic?????  What do I do????

take a deep breath. it will all work out. see dr. dorn and tell him your concerns. that's what they are there for. maybe he can advise why you're still losing and what the emotional connection might be. try to add some extra calories when you can to hopefully slow down your losses. everything will be ok. just give it some time and tell dr. dorn everything.

Stephanie, I am so happy you will be going to see someone, you really need to get yourself together.  I know it has been hard accepting the whole, gain weight thing.  but it isn't all about being thin.  Please make sure when you see Dr. Dorn you are honest and tell him exactly how you feel.   I saw Patti on MOnday, and she actually scared me, how long has it been now since her wls? more then 7 years right?  She looks sick, she has worried me for a long time, and we lost our friendship because of this.  we were very close when I worked in the office. She is the reason I decided against RNY and the only reason.  She was telling me she would get up in the middle of the night (several times) to do sit ups, so make sure she didnt' gain weight. Please for your kids, for your family and friends and YOU, be healthy and reconcider taking in more calories.  I'm sorry Steph if i'm too hard on you, I know you've worked hard to loose, but the're are ways to keep it off and be healthy.  I would have written this to you privately, but, I think it is important for all to read,  I"ve seen this before.  You looked wonderful last time I saw you, keep it that way, honey.... best of luck, please keep us updated.  Your friend, hugs and honks, cheryl
