What is so unfair about many fat people, is they don't eat any more than so many of the skinny ones around. One of my daughter's friends had lap surgery and he is now so thin it worries us. Have you thought about the ketogenic diet? You eat so well on that and you lose weight. Diet Doctor and Dr. Jason Fung, would be my first ports of call. There after you will discover some terrific doctors.

Wishing you well. And thank you for the brave post.
