Hi. I am new here. Hoping to get some advice. About 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with gastroparesis(slow moving stomach) ibs-d, fructose intollorance, and more. I also have had hypothyroidism for most of my life, which can cause weight gain. I don't know how I gained all this weight. I can't eat much because of the gastroparesis (soft foods like pasta) and I can't eat fruits (fructose intollorance) and no veggies (gastroparesis). I started drinking v8 juice cause liquids are very easily digested. I am never hungry I don't know why. Cause of my weight or the conditions. I recently found out I have a protruding disc in my back caused by the weight. It is so hard to exercise with that. My physical therapist told me to walk. Since I can't do regular exercises because of the disc. Can you lose weight just walking? I mean can it make my stomach smaller/shrink???? That is what I want to know. I know it will help my legs, but can I lose the fat off my stomach by walking?? Thanks so much. By the way, I am considered obese. I am 5'4 and weigh 216 pounds.
