How does the pain compare with C-Sections and other questions!

I had two C-sections and although the recovery was long, it really wasn't too bad. How is the pain in comparison? Also, I want to hear from anyone who has tried Xenical or Meridia. Here's anothr stupid question. Why are these protein shakes and bariatric diets useful with surgery? Is it becaus you are forced to comply with it because of the size of your stomach? I've been on 1100 calories for sixteen weeks at different times and have basically still gained weight during this time. I am terribly afraid that since I'm on an 1800 calorie diet now (which is filled with nutritious food and good food for energy) and gain approximately 2-3 pounds per month, with approximately a 30 per day fat intake. It's about 800 to 1000 calories less than it should take to maintain my current weight of 287. I have to be sure that I'm still a candidate for something like this, since I've not experienced any weight loss in twelve years, despite all of my efforts. We are all different, but has anybody else experienced this and did their metabolism cooperate. There would be nothing worse than one's metabolism adapting right away to a 700 calorie diet as there now would be no turning back and a reversal would most definitely mean incredible weight gain. Sorry to be such a nudge but these are qeustions that I'm looking into. Thank you soooooooooo much. Mi Robi.
