Question:
Has anyone had a difficult plateau after dealing with serious malnutrition?

I was losing just fine and then went into sudden malnutrition to the point of starvation and had to be hospitalized twice. It took a team of specialists to figure me out. Now that I am eating better and off birth control (can no longer metabolize correctly) I am fine- but the weight loss is very slow. My diet had to be changed a few times to adjust for nutritional needs. I feel almost curesed. Its as if my body is not sure if it is supposed to lose or not anymore. I have 30 lbs left to lose!!    — ppaige (posted on December 2, 2005)

Can you talk about your current supplementation and eating plan? Were you on TPN? What kind of surgery did you have? I glanced at your profile, so you are less than 1 year out, right?

Pamela, I am also interested in what your symptoms were and what they did to help you feel better, I feel like I may be having some of the same problems. If you can please email me [email protected]. Sorry I had a question for you and not an answer, but I will be interested to see what responses you get as well!
