Honestly, I have just done what my nutrionist advised. Nothing special.
I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day, at least 60g of Protein, no more than 125g of carbs, and no more than 20% fat.
I don't eat white rice, bread, or Pasta. Only brown rice and whole grain breads and pasta. I try not to eat after dinner, however being a night owl I end up hungry around 10pm most nights. If I do have a small snack then, it's never any carbs. I've found I simply can't have carbs after dinner and lose weight.
I use an app called "Lose It" to track both calories and nutrients- it's my bible and it holds me accountable.
That's it, nothing special really

Until you have fills the band is doing nothing for you. It took me 6 months before I hit the green zone. You mentiond not being very active. If necessary start slow 10 minutes a day of walking; and work up the time until you can do at least 45 minutes. I highly recommend swimming because it's better for those of us with joint issues. If I could start swimming at 365 pounds ANYBODY can! Waterproof MP3 player is a must.
Consider getting a digital food scale (available walmart or target). My doctor says to weight out 3 oz of solid Protein.
