I started at 210 at 5'6. I had my surgery on 9/16/17. Since then, I've been losing steadily and I'm concerned that I am at 110.... I am never able to eat much, and my hunger is gone!!!!! I have to remind myself to eat, and when I do, its like all a 2 year old could eat. Scared!

What did your surgeon, surgical team and nutritionist have to say?

What is your current BMI? How are all your bloods? What do your surgical team think and what advice have they given you

I'm sure you are scared with a BMI that is in the underweight range. Might be a good idea to contact your team.

I agree with other posters. If you keep dropping you need to contact your team and they may have you eat a bit differently to gain a little back. I have always thought the happy medium was to find the balance to where you werent losing nor gaining to maintain. I am not sure though as i have never been there, but your dr would know best. Keep us posted!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
