 Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2007 8:57 am Post subject: Losing weight fast help!? |
 |
|
| I am 15 years old, am 5'11, and weigh 121.5 pounds. I recently had jaw surgery five dasy ago (Nov 22), before the surgery I was 131 pounds. They put me on an all liquid diet, the first day in the hospital I could only drink a few hundred calories but I think the IV might have given a bit more. When I came home from the hospital the day after I weighed 125 but I thought it was just from fluid loss and I would gain it back right away.The next two days I drank as much as it said (2300 calories) but I continued to lose weight down to 123. The next day I drank 3200 calories and now today I weigh in at 121.5.Why am I still losing weight?! My BMI is currently 17.0. I am aslo visibly skinnier in the mirror (My ribs stick out alot more and my arms are pencil thin) and am alot weaker than I was before (Used to be able to do dumbell curls of 12 reps now I can barely do one rep). I cant eat back to my normal diet for another two weeks. Please help I am very frustrated. |

| It sounds like you have a very high metabolism. There are several supplements and energy drinks available for just that purpose that should help you gain the weight back the healthy way. When you can eat normally again, look for healthy fats like nuts, fish, avocados, etc. |

| Your body is probably adjusting to the lack of food over the course of your surgery. It's not unusual for a body to do this. Continue following your doctor's instructions, and you will be fine. |

| your body is still in recovery, restorationI would give it one more week into December, you should be gaining weight by then, you should have been given a re appointment for 10 days after, if not call your doctor now, and you should get a confirmation of what is normal as far as weight in this case.peace have the nicest ever day, Tuesday no worries in the Peace of the prince of peace = "Unto us a child is born a son is given, and he will be the mighty God, and the prince of peace." Poem on my comments to you, & a yellow rose for friendship & thanks to God for you, on my blog.Thanks to God in spite of it All! Despite the place, That I'm now in, This corner of my life. Despite the set backs, That I face, Or of the tears, That leave a trace.. Despite the time, That distance brings, Or life's little quirks, And all other things...Despite that fact, That I still live, Memories of a past, I had to forgive...Despite the rains,That flood the trail, Despite life's winds, A force of gale. Despite the moon, Laying hidden behind the sometimes clouded sky, The tracks I time,Within my mind...Despite harsh words said to me and replied back sadly, Whispered aloud. For at times the sun is Behind the clouds...Despite the way, things comes about, My love for Jesus, There is no doubt, Jesus has rescued me through it all, And I am everlastingly thankfull. John chapters 3 & 10 life and life more abundantly. No worries Philippians 2 to care for others even until death, and 4 in prayer the peace that passes all understanding heart, mind and soul. Happy day, David the sweet pea, because I prayed, "Jesus thanks that you love me no matter what, and I am sorry for my sins, even one lie, come into my heart. As you say you knock on my heart door to come in deliver from sin and be my friend, so I am asking you to do it, amen." truely now He is my best friend, in the joy of salvation. Thank God, instead of hell weeping forever for rejecting him Matthew 24:51. Now I have the promise of heaven, Revelation 3:19&20. Thanks to you too precious, In Jesus amazing grace way,David the sweet pea |

| 131lb at 5'11" is still light. You probably have had very low bodyfat. Since you haven't been eating normally for a while and don't have much bodyfat as a reserve energy source, body uses muscles as energy source. Therefore, you would lose weight faster than someone who has some bodyfat and makes you weaker. |
