I can relate with you. I am 48 and I had a really bad accident in 2010. I am the same as you. I have a very hard time loosing weight ever since. I follow really low calorie diet. No bad foods, no sweets, no soda, all whole foods and home cooked meals. I work on my feet. I do hard workouts at gym and still only loose like 10 pounds then it stops. I don't think I will ever loose extra weight around belly where my surgery was. I have a 24 inch scar from my surgery, and I am starting to think the scar tissue is playing a factor.
