I did this so you can read through the previous posts and connect easily with members like @jimhd @lioness @astaingegerdm @lasirvent @filiond and others.

Sudden and unexpected weight loss is a common symptoms of many different conditions. Judging by some of the other posts you've made, it looks like you and your doctor may be investigating possible autoimmune disorders. Is that right? What conditions have been ruled out? What investigations have been done?

I had an abdominal CT scan and an EGD. Both normal. My past history includes a gastric bypass 22 years ago. I gained most of my weight back over the years. Took 50 lbs off when I decided to re-commit to diet and exercise. Kept that 50 off, but fell off the wagon again. Stopped exercising and ate what I wanted. This lack of interest in food came on fairly suddenly, and I have lost another 50 lbs. I try to drink protein drinks, and when I do eat, I make sure it is high in protein. I’m within 30 or so lbs of my goal weight, which is great, but other than a feeding tube, how do I stop losing when I get there?
