I haven't lost one single pound since November 2012... I'm down to 180 and stuck there... I do have dumping syndrome and use it so I won't feel constipated.... Do y think my body is on shut down mode? I've been a year post op as of may 29th! I'm down 80 lbs! Any advice would be appreciated.

I think if you are having dumping syndrome you are eating the wrong type of foods. Try going back to the basics and starting over with your immediate post op diet and progress the diet again, but without the foods that cause you to dump. Try mixing MiraLax with your water for constipation, it works and you can't taste it or smell it. Good luck!
