I am 17 months out of surgery. I have been at goal since feb. However, I have continued to lose weight and I am not trying. I am constantly eating protein most days not enough. I still have difficulty with bread, it fills me up fast. Does anybody else have this problem? My husband is getting concerned and says if I get to 105 he's going to intervene. We are both nurses! I know how I am suppose to eat and I do my best. Any ideas?

OMG, I'm having this same issue. I've found myself reverting to bad habits. I feel as though look horrible. My face has thinned out so much. I don't like it. I would be interested to see what others are doing.

I was happy at 115.. But now I am down at 110 and getting concerned. My nutritionist initially told me I would only be able to get down to 130 without exercise. I am working out 2 days a week for about an hour and just trying to eat something constantly. My job is demanding, somedays I am running constantly. I hope I can get others input.

I'm kind of in the same boat....I hit goal just a little over 6 months out and started upping my fat and healthy carbs. Switched from skim milk to 1% or 2%, regular cottage cheese instead of no fat, more fruit, whole grain bars (pure ancient grains, Kind whole grain), high Fiber cereals, and snacking on a lot if nuts. I am getting plenty of Protein but only because I drink a 30-40g smoothie everyday.

But I'm still losing about 1 pound/week. I eat whenever I'm hungry and don't feel like I'm depriving myself of anything. I would like to stop losing, but I'm afraid to eat more just for the sake of eating. And I don't want to start up bad habits by eating carby foods. Guess I'm looking for ideas, too.

And I just noticed we are both from Idaho and had surgery at OCC. Kinda spooky.

Oh yeah, and the OCC nut gave me a goal of 160 so I'm technically 17 pounds below that. My personal goal was 150 so that's what's on my ticker.

Wow... That is kinda crazy. I love OCC! I am so thankful I have been able to achieve what I have. But everything you have listed is pretty much everything I have also been doing. Just beginning to worry.

I am also in the same boat. I am 11months post op. I started at 195 lbs and my goal was 130lbs. My doctor said realistically I couldn't loose 60 lbs, more like 50, but today I'm at 121lbs and still loosing. I've pretty much eat whatever I want, chips, ice cream, bread, hoping I can gain a little weight back, but no can do. My face is thin, my arms skin saggs, and I look old. I never thought loosing too much would ever be a problem, but now it is.

Start drinking some calories guys. Not just protein shakes either. White sugar isn't helpful, but fruit can be, and maybe things like pinto beans and potatoes.
