Hello: I've really love this forum and all of the information is provides. I was banded about 1.5 years ago and went from 298 to being stuck around 260 for the last 9 months or so. Admittedly I did not exercise as I should and found certain foods much easier to eat (e.g. Ice cream) than others that caused PBs (e.g. chicken). Having said that over the last few weeks I've exercised regularly (cardio 4-5x per week @30mins at target HR) and have eliminated anything not good for me (ice cream, sweets, etc). My caloric intake has been around 1,400 - 1,500. In three weeks I have only lost 1.5 pounds and am very distressed. I'm hoping others have had a similar issue and can give me some guidance on how to break through this. I feel like the band has given me all it can and the rest is up to me. I'm doing what I'm supposed to be cannot seem to break through into the 250s. Thank you!
