[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1446838, member: 88961"] Well, nobody here can tell you if there's any other reason you might still be losing weight. One thing I will say is that after I had my surgery, I had an unfortunate complication (nothing to do with T"; just one of those unfortunate things), and I ended up having to see the Specialist Nurse Practitioner every few days to have my dressing checked , and so on. When I commented I had lost weight, she remarked along the lines of "Well, I'm not at all surprised. Your body has just had a trauma (surgery) and it's concentrating on healing you". Seemed to make sense to me. She did also comment it'd take me a few months to regain the post-op weight loss. You think you're slight? I metaphorically dance around a BMI of 18.5. In your shoes, you might feel happier having a chat with your GP about your concerns, but if you actually want to stop losing weight, then up your proteins a bit, then up your fats, if you aren't keen to up the carbs. Of course, you may find that having trimmed up a bit, your insulin resistance has improved and you will be able to handle additional carbs without any issues. I know I can, but I just choose not to. I was never a massive fan of potatoes and the like, so I won't bother trying to get the hang of them now. [/QUOTE]
