Quick weight gain question

[dstollery 290]

I know weird subject title but I was 330 lb at start and now 7 months ish post op I need to stop losing weight. I am down to 170 and starting to get a gaunt appearance. I just need some help with ways to level off. I am eatting as regularly as I can. As a flight medic I can't always eat every few hours but it still seems to be melting away. If anyone else has had this problem please let me know what u did to level off. I know this is a difficult subject to post since most people here, me included wanted nothing more than to lose weight but my concern of losing too much is quickly being realized. I have tried I decrease my workouts focusing more on weights and less on cardio. I am getting 90g-100g Protein per day. Anyway thanks for any advice.

Have you tried increasing your calorie intake? You could also contact your nutritionist and see what tips they have for you.

I use nuts and cheese to balance my calories.

My nutritionist was as dr house would say "an idiot." I taught more about malabsorption surgery to the group than she knew. I am eatting fairly frequently and have increased my caloric intake. I even eat a few garbage items because I need the calories. /shrug little frustrating to swing the other way

Congratulations on your awesome loss! Is there anyone else you could see? Maybe someone in endocrinology? A different nutritionist? Are you tracking your calorie intake to see more or less what you're getting? (I know, lots of questions, no actual answers --Sorry!)

They say at some point. People tend to look a little sickly before they balance off so just wait for your body to plateau and make sure you getting all the Protein Vitamins and nutrients you need to keep healthy inside. Your body will know when it's time to slow it down who knows maybe have another 20 pounds left but just keep the Nutrition Facts on key by maintaining a healthy diet you'll be great

My suggestion is to focus on regaining muscle. I am trying to get into the police academy and working real hard at gaining the muscle I lost. I focus on Protein to help build that muscle. Muscle in my option give people a healthy look. You don't look starved you look healthy.

Did you ever in your wildest dreams think you'd hit this point? I have no advice on gaining but just wanted to say congrats!
