Yeah, I can see you'd have a problem after VSG surgery done to lose 35 pounds.

What does your surgeon advise?

My mother had this problem--she was sleeved a year & a half ago and lost around 150 lbs in the first year. She has a hard time eating a lot at a time w/ acid reflux. She's since gained 10-12 lbs, but is around 5'8 and 140. She kind of got scared that if she were to get sick, she'd lose more. Never thought that losing too much could be a problem until I watched her go through it. Good luck increasing calories!

I simply mean that sleeve surgery works to restrict severely the volume of food you can eat. That's why many people lose weight "effortlessly" for at least six months, sometimes losing 100 pounds or more during that time. Your profile looks like you wanted to lose only 35 pounds.

You have boarded a train that takes a long time to slow down. Eating high fat, high carb food would help to slow it faster.

Your surgeon may have better ideas.

When I hit my surgeon's goal (160) I started upping my calories in the form of more fat and whole grains. I kept losing and passed my personal goal (150) about 6 weeks later. I continued to increase my calories until I finally quit losing....20 pounds below surgeons goal and 10 pounds below personal goal. But I was still within normal BMI and OK with how I looked. I've recently lost another 5 pounds, but again, it's something I'm OK with.

Basically, if you don't want to lose anymore You have to start eating more.... nuts, nut butters, fruit, whole grains, and full fat dairy products are easy ways to add healthy calories.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
