Can't keep weight up, 5 yrs post op
Boy, I wish this had been a problem before RNY but within the past 5 months I can't keep my weight up..If I get it up to 124-130lbs it comes right back off, I'm having all kinds of medical tests done but no concerns found as of yet, I feel pretty healthy except for some shakiness which feels like a lack of muscle strength..I am now concentrating on strick protein intake and feel that might be the source of the problem, anyone else experience this?..
Maybe thyroid - hypothyroid.. I hope they find what is going on.
Just proteins may make you lose weight. In situation like that - drinking with meals to allow for more food volume plus taking digestive enzymes may help a lot. Complex, easy to digest carbs like in sweet potatoes, nuts, nut butters may help.
