One other thing you shouldn't be having that much heartburn. Ask you doctor about over the counter meds like Prilosec. This is taken for a short time to resolve the heartburn and not something you would be on forever. I re read your post regarding what you were eating. You need small 5-6 meals a day to revamp your metabolism. not sure what your age is but if you are close to or over 40 this changes a lot for us.

This is a tough call on what you have indicates but I do not think you are getting enough Protein. I am not an expert by any means but saw your diet. You need to start counting protein grams. If your weight is 298 you need about 89 grams. When I went through class I was told this was the biggest thing. You can supplement most other things. Bring your diet back down to the basics. Do a Protein Drink in the morning add a few blueberrys etc. In a few hours when you are hungry have some string cheese as a snack maybe a few nuts. lunch time some tuna or chicken with a vegetable you can tolerate. a few hours later a snack For your snack have serving of cottage cheese or yogurt. dinner high protein low carb. Stay away from any white grains including rice, refined flour products including bread and Pasta. Snack Protein drink or cottage cheese. The one last thing write down everything you put into you mouth. Be accountable to yourself sometimes we put more in than we realize. That's what I had to do. Love yourself that's the most important thing and don't give up. I know it's been 3 years but you have a tool for yourself. I get scared when mine isn't working right like I am too free and not in control. Take control and run your band don't let your band run you. Deanna

I lost a friend of 17 years about 4 months after having surgery. I bring it down to jealousy, unfortunately. The friend was so ugly about it. I miss our friendship but nut the ugliness
