Guest guest Posted August 6, 2000 Report Share Posted August 6, 2000 I was catching up on my post... I was also like you...would STARVE on nothing or maybe 700 cal. a day and then " bing " and I have noticed I have a slow weight loss too. I had my surgery 7/27/00 and have lost 11 lbs. But I am not going to complain, slow is better than nothing! I did have a dream that this surgery didn't work for me!!! I woke up bawling like a baby! I hope we maybe " speed " up just a little though.
