    Please don't starve yourself!!! I know people with gastric surgeries have very low-calorie diets, but they are doctor supervised to make sure their nutritional needs are met. It sounds like you've just let yourself become malnourished. I'm sorry your dr is ignoring you though..grr :(

    Thx for your support. I did speak to my heart dr yesterday. His only concern about my eating was not drinking enough water. He saw my food logs and said that i am getting the nutrients i need. I am still seeing the gastric dr on the 21st to double check. Meanwhile im up to 1,000 cal day. I love MFP and this awesome community!!!
