I'd never thought I'd say this, but I'm loosing too much weight. I am beginning to look sick. I started at 208lbs and now I'm 138lbs. Way too much weight loss for me. I'm 5'6". I try to eat more, and I have, but I just keep loosing. Hopefully I'll eventually stop loosing and start gaining. My goal was 150lbs. Anyone else who had a low bmi run into this? I'm almost 9mths po. I'm also lactose intolerant so there goes the milkshakes.

I have friend just like you! 5'6"& is finally back up to 145! She's 16 months out. She started eating crappy 4 months ago & is just now started to gain. Still at this weight, she looks too skinny. Crazy! She started at 263.

I am 5'6" and weigh 135. I have a small frame and chest. 135 is a little more than the middle of the normal BMI range. But if you prefer to weigh more, I suggest adding healthy fats. Avocado, nuts, nut butters and olive oil are all good choices. Hummus is also pretty high in calories and good for you.

There's not a lot of info in this. Are you having trouble keeping food down? Are you eating 400 calories? 1400? Practicing for a marathon? Sitting still? Also, how are your blood tests? A1c? If you "look sick" you may indeed, be sick.

I was having trouble eating. I eat about 800-1000 calories a day bc I just can't eat anymore than that. No marathon. I sit still bc if I work out, ill waste away. I drink my Protein. I'm sick of them though. I was low on Vit.D but now I take a supplement. Thats the only thing I was low on. What is A1c? I'm not sick, I just look too thin. Lately I've been noticing I can eat a bit more. Maybe I'm just gettn better now. Thanks for all the feed back. You guys are great.

i dont know what you mean by waste away if you exercise? it helps build muscle and bone. It would take enourmous efforts to waste away with exercise, you will run out of energy well before that.

I think I'll loose more weight. If I eat 1000 calories and burn 400, then I'll loose more weight.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
