Reply to "weight loss"

Same boat here too. It really bothers me. Dropped down to low 90s during flare leading to colectomy. On TPN. Regained to 112. Still too light (5’6”) but acceptable and felt good. Then dropped below 100 lbs again during the fiasco of stage 2-3. Have made it back to 105 like you where I seem to be stuck. I actually feel like I eat a fair amount though clearly not enough. My theory is ongoing inflammation (for me a sinus tract and possible smouldering infection) is preventing weight gain. Inflammation expends calories and can also lead to general malaise and lack of appetite.

TF, you might need to try to get the remaining UC under control, if at all possible, in order to gain. Easier said than done I know. It sucks.
