Unable Lose More Weight After Gastric Bypass?
I had a Gastric bypass in July 2006. I only lost about 60 lbs and stopped. I have gained about 30lbs. I dieted and worked out but got no more weight loss. I had anastomosis after the procedure and they ballooned my stomach. Could this be a part of the reason why I failed to reach my ideal weight?
I have started on a 1500 calorie a day diet with 45mins of walking 5 days per week. I am so discouraged and I am not loosing weight. I only lost 4lbs in a month. I have had my thyroid tested, I have been tested for PCOS all have come back negative. Help I am very depressed.
