Nice details it helps. I was banded 5/10/11. Down 50lbs and stuck with no weight loss since Oct. I want to know if you will share a example of a days intake on 800 cal. I need the help at this point very discouraged. Thanks Crystal

Discouraged yes regret no. Banded 5/10/11 down 50lbs but stuck with no weight loss since Oct and it SUCKS! Crystal

Lakeshia I to had my surgery in May 2011. Started out at 289lbs now stuck at 238lbs since Oct. I don't go back to my doc till Feb. I am looking at what things I'm eating and trying my best to increase exercise which hasn't ever interested me. Zumba classes are my new find love. Thank GOD for my gym membership it makes me go. I have been looking for people banded around the same time as me so please keep in touch. I have been very discouraged lately due my weight being stuck for so long. I had 1cc put in on Sept 1st then had to go get .5cc taken out the next day I couldn't even keep water down lost 4lbs over nite and throwing up continousely. Therefore I am at my max fill's I believe unless someone out here has more info for me on this topic. I keep thinking ok if I'm at my max what the heck I'm I doing wrong??? Thanks for listening Crystal

I'm using Targets gummies also multi ang vit d with cal Love them

Still at 238lbs Crystal

I can eat seafood with no problems. I did have food at Red Lobster. I only have shrimp and part on a potato. 7 months post op

12/22 238lbs Merry Christmas everyone! Crystal

We all are going thru these challenges. I am 7 months post op. It is a big mind thing. I have my days as well. We can do this hang in there! I'm trying too.

I have different levels of restriction at different times. I thought this was just me. So glad to hear I'm not the only one. One day I can eat eggs for breakfast and the next day it will get stuck. Just don't get it. :0

same here

OMG so true I am going thru these things right now.

Keep going!

Exercise is a big weakness of mine. I start going to the gym then find every reason not to go. I have been doing light weights and stretching at home and work daily. I need to really get a spark going because my weight isn't moving. So exercise yes not my favorite.

How do u stay focused? Diet, exercise, protein intake?

2 wks in veggie fan after reading this book Skinny B*****

My scale is moving slowly as well. I am Down 52lbs. And its very hard when my hubby is losing daily. Now he has lost 100lbs. He had a lot more to lose and had his surgery 2wks prior. I am very happy for him but yes its a scale hating moment. We can do this! Zumba class here I come tonite

Hi how do I record my weight today?

OMG to crazy I just was reading this book called "Skinny b***h" which I've had as a gift for a year and not touched. Its a wonderful read. It has made me take a 30 day challenge to commit to be a Vegan. I went shopping a Trader Joe's a vegan friendly store. I have been shopping there more and more lately. The food from Trader Joe's seems to go down much better. I had my band 5/10/11. Please keep me posted on the responses from your post. Very interested. Thanks Crystal

6 months out and loss of 51lbs

I listen to another member and started Biotin 5000mcg from Target in clear capsules. I've been taking it like a week. I can tell its helping and my energy is increasing too.

I eat 900-1300 cal a day. I try my best to stick with 1000 cal daily. Protein is 45-60 grams a day. I just started seriously working in exercise. I admit exercise is my weakness. I started out with stretching daily because my muscles are always very tight. I work as a phlebotomist on my feet almost 6-10 hours a day. So my muscles being so tight kills me. LOL

When were you banded?
