Thanks for the reply....I guess we just have to keep plugging along and not get discouraged. This is the point in past diets when i would go back to my old habits as well...So we have to look at all that we've accomplished and be grateful. Going to karate class is a few minutes! Thanks!

I was banded on 5/19 and have lost 45 pounds. It looks like I'm a slow loser compared to some others on this thread. I take karate and go 3-4x/week - it's a crazy workout and i sweat ALOT! I'm eating anywhere from 1350-1700 calories - varying day to day. Can you all tell me what your calorie intake is and what your typical daily diet is? I'm getting frustrated and wondering what is up with me.

I have lost a total 44 pounds since my surgery on 5/19. My doctor didn't make me do the 2 weeks pre-op diet.. I'm just getting frustrated because I've been fluctuating at 42-46 pound mark for the past 2 months! I take karate and go at least 3x/week - it's a very rigorous workout and I sweat ALOT. I'm eating anywhere from 1350-1750 calories a day. How many calories are you guys taking in on a daily basis?
