I am not making headway. Although I am not gaining, I’m not losing. Now I have a new companion. I started dumping. Crazy as it sounds, I feel better. I’m going to post re: dumping to see what others have done. I followed Mayo’s handout diet, but it didn’t work. I didn’t know one could increase dosages without doctor’s recommendation. I’m interested if the increase works. Good luck! This is a rotten journey, but the alternative is worse.
