Should I listen to my PCP or Trainer and Dietician?

Hi there, Amos Family!, Not sure if any recall, I had some issues with both my Dietician as well as my Personal trainer. My dietician doesn't have the first clue about WLS, while I was in the hospital, she gave me regular jello instead of sugar free and my Trainer believes in the more carb lifestyle. I follow a majority of what my dietician tells me ( after I run it past my Doctor) and I only follow my Trainer's advice on exercise issues. <p> Okay here's the new dilema, I stll have another 40 lbs to lose. I was on a plateau for a while, didn't bother me too much because I figured I could try to gain some muscle back and firm up. When I saw my Dr. he said that he didn't want me to concentrate so much on the muscle aspect and to try to still get down in weight. He said once I am much, much closer to goal, ( about 10 pounds) then I can fully concentrate on firming up. But I don't know who I should listen to.... the doctor that knows a great deal about WLS or a dietician that admits, she is 'learning as she goes along' and a Trainer that seems almost anti WLS? Summary..... Doc wants me to continue losing. Trainer wants me to stop and focus on muscles and weight training and Dietician says to focus on my daily nutritional requirements. What would you do, Amos Family? Thanks, Vi Open RNY 9/23/02 down 144 lbs.
