Weight Loss Had VBG in 2002 and now stuck May 23 2007

That all makes sense but the doctor does not do this surgery no longer and has since moved. I guess I'll understand more if someone could explain what the deficit means.

Wow, what great advice from all.

My story is this:

In May 2002 I weighed 388 lbs.  I had vertical banded gastroplasty (vbg).  By dec 03 i was at my lowest weight, 188lbs.

I lost all that without exercising.  Then in summer of 2005 i had a lower tummy tuck, removing the 8 lbs of flesh that ""hung"" around and was causing me trouble.

I was ok up till about 2006 when I gained, for what reason, I do not know, until my weight now, 235 lbs.  It's not bad i guess, considering I am 5'9. and big boned.  Can't change that.

I work out cardio 3 x's a week and I strength train 2 times a week.

Been doing that 6 weeks.  It appears I look leaner due to muscle now, but i am not happy. 

I saw my surgeon 2 days ago and he suggested I have the gastric bypass done now because the vbg is only a tool and not as drastic of a weight loss tool as the bypass.  He said after i have that done, I would be 160 lbs in no time.  I dont want no more surgeries.  My fiance would be furious.  He likes me the way I am but I hate even going outside.

i guess I should be grateful that i've lost 160 lbs, and dont get me wrong, I am happy about that, I just feel I could/should have done better.

Oh my...oh and I take CLA...for fat loss..but that dont seem to work.

My stomach rarely grows, it is 4 oz big.  I consume approx. 1200 cal a day and drink my water.  I'm a mess. Im so nervous about getting married and how I will look in our pictures. That thought alone makes me nauseaus.

Thanks for listening.
