Under weight

Is there anyone who is struggling to maintain or continues to lose weight...I am 8 yrs out 5'7" I am 119 pounds..I fluctuate between 119 and 115..I started at 287 and had Rny laproscopically. I am experiencing malabsorption of my vitamins and calories. ? Anyone struggling with this? More importantly has anyone solved this problem?

Is this a new problem or have you always felt like you are struggling?  I am just wondering what would cause it to be a problem after 8 years, what may have caused it?  What does your doctor say?  I don't really struggle to maintain but I am only 3 years out.  I kind of expect it to become more difficult as time goes by but for now it is pretty instinctual. 

Is this a recent problem or have you always had problems keeping your weight in a normal range?  I'm 8 years out also, not underweight but below goal.  I don't at this point have to watch my intake too much to maintain.

I had a bowel resection 3 yrs ago. This is when the malabsorption started before this I considered 145 pounds as my attained and successfully maintained goal..went down to 112 after surgery then 115 to 119 for the past 3 years and that is withou****ching my diet ..I can still only eat small amounts which I do frequently.. had my first iron transfusion 3 days ago..we will see..any comments are appreciated
Blessings on your journey

Surgery May 2004,  Pre-op - 312lbs,  Post op - 111.

 

I too am having a terrible time keeping weight on.  I am 5'9, 111 lbs (down from 312 in 2004).  I cannot keep anything in, with exception of fluids and an occasional nibble.  I can however keep sugary sweets down. (seems like a dream, but it isn't).  Additionally, I hurt! constantly.

I saw my surgeon at Duke in October, and had an endoscopy.  He found a stricture, and dialated.  Things went very well for about 3 weeks, and the symptoms began to start again.  I have another appointment at the end of this week.  I am sure this will result in another endoscopy, but do not know beyond that.   

There are days when I am almost sure I am going crazy.  I wish you the best with your quest to gain.  If you find a secret, please share it.
