Thank you, gmanbat. My body has been through an excruciating last three years. Two shoulder surgeries and two neck surgeries, and now the sleeve. It's probably confused beyond cellular recognition. I just want normal again, which is the goal of the sleeve. Going to try and increase intake, as much as that messes with me mentally. Definitely a challenge to stay mentally strong.
To Simply Me:
My take is that your body has been through a roller coaster of gain and loss and gain and loss. There seems to be an intelligence community in the body that is disconnected from our rational brain, kind of a B.I.A., (Body Intelligence Agency). It secretly decides fat retention and burn off and muscle growth. It has it's own schedule and no amount of coercion or bad press can affect it.
The good news is that it is working for us and not against us. The body is a nearly incomprehensible, complex organization, there are many systems and factors that even the best medical minds are still guessing at.
I have stalled for weeks and and even months toward my the last few pounds to my goal and was contenting myself that my descent was over only to see the numbers go down again. My clothing has appeared to enlarge itself even when my numbers did not change.
You can eat too little. Consult with NUT and Doc. Amazingly, they sometimes know what they are talking about.
I would bet my wife's best jewelry, (but not my guitars), that your descent will begin again. Give your body time to catch up. In the mean time, do the right things.
