chiki...you've gotten a lot of good advice and a couple of digs on this thread, but I know you are frustrated with the slow weight loss, of course you are, you've had 2 surgeries! What we take into our bodies is the most important thing now, and it sounds like your body is resistant to losing weight, the smaller stomach is not a magic fix....you still have to do the work. I am losing slowly now too but I have lost 100 pounds and the only way that happened was to eat about 1000 calories daily and less than 50 grams of carbs. Start fresh after the holidays and give up the bread, tortillas, rice, potatoes and all sweets (sugar) and focus on protein and veggies, a little fruit and exercise daily, drink tons of water. When you eliminate the carbs, your body has to turn to it's fat stores for energy, that is what you want to happen. If you eat the wrong things, lots of carbs for example, your body uses that glucose for energy first and your fat stays put. You have to get your body to burn that fat, and surgery won't do that, only diet and exercise provide that element.

Good luck!!!

Just trying to clarify. A physician or any other nurse would want clarification as well. Giving and getting precise details are important to medical people.

Chiki, instead of toast for breakfast, what if you had an egg?

I agree-toast is a bad idea! You need to hit your protein-join MFP. Getting re-sleeved won't fix this, you have to...you have to eat healthy and make the effort with the diet....it is NOT easy, we all know that!

See how reliable your fact are!!! We haven't had may 2013 yet and you had surgery that day.

Is it any wonder we are confused. Also spell check might help too.

So it's not just me. You have totally confused this whole situation. Yes I accept your apology. Good luck to you.

Confused and irritated a little bit. Hope you find out what is wrong, but I'm at a loss!
