✨WHEN POST-BARIATRIC WEIGHT LOSS GOES TOO FAR✨
You’ve worked hard, reached your target weight after surgery, and your transformation is amazing, but what happens if the weight keeps dropping past a healthy point? This can be dangerous, even if it seems like a “success story” from the outside.
Continued weight loss after reaching a healthy range can lead to:
-Muscle loss and weakness
-Fatigue, dizziness, and low energy
-Hair thinning and brittle nails
-Nutrient deficiencies that impact bones, heart, and overall health
-An unhealthy appearance that isn’t sustainable
It’s easy to think “less is better,” but your body has limits. Maintaining your target weight is as important as losing it — your body needs fuel, protein, and nutrients to stay strong, energised, and healthy.
💡 What to do if weight keeps dropping:
-Talk to your bariatric team immediately
-Track your nutrition carefully
-Make sure you’re eating enough protein and calories
-Watch for signs of malnutrition or dehydration
-Remember: health vs scale number‼️
Your journey isn’t just about hitting a number, it’s about feeling vibrant, strong, and well. Sometimes maintaining is the real success. 💛
