3 yrs post op gastric bypass and I can't stop losing weight. Will I ever stop losing weight?

August 7, 2015
Asked By:Anon45582

for the past year I've had a diet which I thought Ok.I still can only eat about 4-7 ounces of food depending on what I'm eating. I went to my doctor and found out I lost another 15 pounds. Will I ever stop losing weight? I do not want to be any thinner than I am. You can see my ribs and hip bones and I look to thin. Any recommendations ? Weight gainer ? Increased caloric drink ?
