    BTW I am in the same sort of position as you but I figure it will stop at some point. My loss is very slow now, a couple of 100grams every month or so. The fear is that if I add in too much food I will start regaining which I don't really want to do.

    I have just run your numbers through a BMI calc ( yes I know some people hate them) and according to that your BMI is 21.1 which is still well within the healthy range.Therefore I wouldn’t stress too much at this point.
    I would suggest adding back in healthy fats. Things likes nuts, seeds and avocados. Also use higher fat versions of dairy.
    I often think that people worry that they are too skinny when they are in fact healthy because these days we are more used to seeing overweight people .

    elcee got a reaction from FluffyChix in what are the most common reasons people get their band removed?   
    Regain.
    Slippage
    Reflux
    Erosion
    Poor diet
    Oesophageal failure
    My surgeon told me that the average life span is approx 10 years. That eventually they all fail or cause issues. One of the disturbing things they are finding is the increase in oesophageal failure caused by the oesophagus having to work so hard to push food through. Also years of reflux can lead to cancer.

    I haven't misunderstood , I was just highlighting that when a person thinks about various possibilities in their mind the mind has a habit of selecting the worst possible scenario. I myself have done that many times when I have had blood tests and the Dr has called me back in, I find i always think its something awful and it tends to be something as simple as low Iron ( which they could have told me over the phone).

    Good luck at your app, let us know what the Doc says

    I would avoid trying to figure it out yourself otherwise in your mind you might end up 6ft under pushing up daisies.
    Best to make a Dr app and go and find out from a professional

    I wish it was behind me, I'm still dealing with it all. it's only been 2 weeks. Wound vac is changed Monday, Wednesday and Friday's, which hurt extremely bad, and as I said PICC line will be removed on the 17th.

    You certainly shouldn’t be driving yourself and I don’t even think you should be doing the trip at that point. There is too much risk of complications such as a clot. Surely you can arrange to stay somewhere close to your medical team for a couple of days, it may cost money but it should be worth it for peace of mind

    elcee got a reaction from JessLess in Is it true that your body gets used to a low cal diet?   
    If you are consuming less calories than you expend you lose weight
    If consumption and amount expent are equal you will maintain
    If you consume more than you expend you will gain.
    However it is possible that your body may become efficient at operating on a low number of calories . You may find that your metabolism is not as efficient as when you were younger. Plus as you lose weight your body needs less than when you were bigger so you may find that you will always need to be very careful of amounts consumed .
