no weight loss

I need to ask, why won't your Doctor schedule a fill? I mean, that's why we have this operation. If you still feel you need one, you may want to switch Doctors.

Now, here is a crazy question - how much are you eating, and how often are you eating? Always remember my number rule - always consult with your Doctor/Nutritionist before augmenting your diet  - with that said (I know this is going to sound crazy) are you sure you're eating ENOUGH? I mean, if you're doing much exercising, you may need to increase your intake to LOSE weight.

A close friend, who is a Certified Fitness Trainer, gave me a valuable lesson concerning losing weight. He gave me some information I found interesting, and thought I’d pass it along. The first thing he said is “You have to EAT in order to lose weight". I know, it sounds strange. He further explained, this does not mean to OVEREAT, but eat sensible portions. That means eat until you feel full (not stuffed). He explained the body is a marvelous machine, and it will protect itself. If one doesn’t eat enough, the body’s metabolism will slow down - in order to keep it functioning. If a person intake is less then what it expels, the body will start to “store" food.

Also, you may want to have “more smaller" meals. Instead of 3 meals, try 5 smaller ones – to keep the metabolism working.

Final suggestion, go speak to your nutritionist. Many insurance companies will allow a certain about of visits per year. See if yours do.

Always know we’re here for you. Keep us posted how it goes.
