Is there a such thing as too much weight loss?

Greetings to all and Happy New Year- Well, I've been exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle since WLS, however, I don't want to lose any more weight. i was 226 before WLS and I am now 105.  My surgiverary is 05-09-07 I am almost 8 months post op and i dont want to lose any more weight. I am now a size 2/3 and I am beginning to get nervous. Family and friends are asking me to stop losing weight, but I have no control. What should I do or what can I do? Please understand that I am not complaining. Please help I need your input? Tiawna

Hiya Tiawna - first and foremost Happy New Year to you & your family! Next, you'll want to talk with your WLS surgeon and/or nutritionist. There are cases when someone loses too much weight & it can become unhealthy. I don't have any direct advice only to say I hope that your doc/nut may be able to guide you in a direction fitting your cir****tances. All best.......

Tiawana - Happy New Year!   Your weight loss does seem rather high at the moment but sometimes you go low and then settle back up again. Only you and you doctor/nutritionist can help you by looking at what you are eating in case you are not eating enough or eating the wrong foods and maybe need to bulk up a bit... I sure wish I had your problem lolololo! I know it isn't funny to you though.... Go see your doctor! Jackie

Both Jackie and Kat are so correct . Get thee to your surgeon !  In the mean time . Arm yourself with good wholesome foods. I did the same thing as you . I begin to think I was loosing too much so I started eating beans, nuts and other wholesome foods . This helped me to maintain my weight .  I have lost 200 pounds , have maintained it now for almost 4 years .  Congratulations on your weight loss thus far . You should be very proud .  Happy New Year and Happy Health !  Tink

Tink, wholesome foods like Oreos? lol Joe

Shhhh .. OK .. the secret is out .. Oreos did it .. Oreos .. LOL ..  OM Goodness .. I would not know what to do with out my Oreo a day ..  I went back to the double stuff .... my bad .. is my treat for being good the rest of the day .. right .. right ...  You have email ..  Tink

You are soooooooo BUSTED!

Starting out at 240, currently 98 pounds, I can understand where you are coming from!  My PCP is keeping a close eye on me.  I NEVER thought I would have to worry about losing TOO much weight.  Be careful and talk to your doctor!

I hope I get to have the same problems!!
