I’m 2 years post Mini gastric bypass.. my weight loss was crazy at the beginning and we were all scared of me dropping below a healthy weight. But towards the end of year 1 my weight started to stabilize at a BMI of 22-23 and the amount of food I was able to eat was good.. things were good and vitamins were in balance. However for the past 2 months I’ve started noticing that I’m unable to eat much. I don’t have pain while eating but I feel full on very small amounts (I.e 3-4 spoons of food) my weight started to dropp again which isn’t something I want and I’ve started feeling very sluggish .. my iron levels and vitamin B12 are still within normal range however my Vit D is very low and started taking extra vit D supplements.. I’m just wondering what could be the cause for not being able to eat well and also could a deficiency in Vit D cause me to feel sluggish or could it be something else??

Congrats on your success! My vitamin D has always been suuuper low. It definitely makes you feel sluggish, tired and low energy. I'm always on extra vitamin D supplements. Kinda stinks.

I'm still post op, but when it comes to eating, I believe you should be able to eat more than that! Have you talked to your doctor?

Congrats on your loss! That's a lovely BMI! Honestly? If you haven't changed a thing--not any food changes, or exercises/activity changes you MUST go see your surgeon/bariatric team about this. Cuz the possibilities are so endless and they will want to do testing!!! ((hugs))
