Perhaps those who are not gaining are afraid of posting, for fear that if

they say it they will then immediately begin to gain weight...

Shhh. ... be very quiet or the fat will find me!

If I were in your situation, I would get a second opinion from a WLS

surgeon. Sometimes a surgeon will say something cannot be fixed, when

another surgeon will say that it can. Good luck, don't give up on surgery

yet.

People who graze eat way more than 5-6 times a day. Grazing is sitting next

to the computer with a bowl of nuts or something and munching on the nuts

for an hour or two, and then getting up and refilling the bowl for another

hour of munching.

In other words, grazing is continuous eating. People who graze rarely have

actual meals. It is a matter of eating continuously all day. Anyone can do

this if they eat slowly and chew well. You can do it on perfectly healthy

foods, no sugar. You can do it without dumping or engaging the sugar

monster. This is a way of getting as much food as possible within a 24 hour

period without dumping or overstuffing your pouch. It is also a really good

way to gain weight.

Don't ask me how I know so much about grazing. :-)
