Weight Loss Stopped After Illness

I have had a hard last few months. I began to get sick around the 1st of March vomiting 5-6 a day and unable to really eat or drink anything. This went on for a month and a half straight. The vomiting stopped but since then I lost feeling in both my legs and feet. I spent over a week in hospital before they discovered I had a B1 deficiency. I've spent another week in a rehab hospital and then transitioned to in-home rehab. I now have feeling from my waist to the top of my knees. I developed bad nerve pain during this time and am now on Lyrica. Now my weight loss has seemed to stall and I'm very frustrated. I keep bouncing between the same 3 lbs. I go up then down. I'm not sure what to do. I don't know if my body is still recovering or if it's something I'm doing. I haven't been able to begin an exercise routine since I began getting sick right after I was cleared for exercise then I loss the feeling in my legs. Since I don't have full feeling back I'm not sure when I'll be able to work out. Help!!!

You really need to speak to your Bariatric Team about this. Considering the circumstances - advice and guidance really needs to come from them. Prayers you feel better soon!

I have a similar thing, I live in the tropics and just almost completely recovered from a severe bout of dengue fever. During the worst part of the illness I dropped 18lb but since being allowed home I'm am also bouncing between the same 4lb. I have resumed exercise and watching my intake but nothing. So depressing. I'm sure it will pass but not great feeling
