Hi Maggie, Thanks for responding; I meant that I am not eating anything that I should not be; I am following my manual to the T - I dont think and I know that I am not eating 1500 calories per day; not with the diet menus that I am using: I usually have a Protein shake or 6 tablespoons of Cereal for breakfast; lunch includes grilled chicken and vegetables and the same for dinner; I usually do not get to a snack in between; I track all my foods on fitday.com and I journal; but, each day, I only get at the most 850 calories in per day. I do not eat sandwhiches yet, maybe I should incorporate those into my lunch; I love wraps. I so want to be successful at this and thought that I would contiunue to lose at least 2 pounds per week, I have included using some weights into my routine, I have just started using the treadmill, I was walking about 40 minutes 3 times per week. Yeah, I try to get about 60 grams of protein in my diet per day. What is the Couch 2 5K program? Congratulations on breaking your plateau. Thanks this is great inforamtion :biggrin:

My prayers are with you, I am 51 and in the same boat, banded 8/17/09; lost 27 pounds; first fill 10/2/09 and not feeling any restricition; leaning on Mr. Willpower; cant get another one until 11/4/09 and I had planned to be down by 35 pounds by then. Help, I am exercising and eating just right; love this site so that we can encourage each other. Janice/Transformed :thumbup:

Wow, what a success story; I also felt that I would be one of those people who dont lose anytthing; well, I was banded on 8/17/09 and have lost 27 pounds already, but now I have hit a plateau and kinda scared; I am exercising and eating just right; I am hoping that I will continue to lose; I weighed in at 267 now down to 242; I am so glad to hear your story; Congrats!

I AM ALSO A SCALE WATCHER; IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY; THIS WEIGHT GOES UP AND DOWN; TRANSFORMEDJANICE

Your're doing fine, I have reached a plateau after six weeks. I have not lost any in 3 weeks, lost 27 pounds since my surgery on 8/17/09 though. I am happy for that, they say the plateaus pass, I cant wait to get to where you are

] I am expericing the exact same thing, my first fill was on 10/1/09 and I am not really feeling anything except pain at my breastbone and I ws told that's how I will fill full; I feel taht I am able to eat too much, I had a whole salad this past Saturday, freaking out now and going to call my Dr. this week for more fill, mine was 2.75cc's to begin with;

To Help I am Scared being banned 11/11/09 - It took me a year to decide to do this, I was a good looking 270 pound woman, however, in terrible health, I was banded 10/17/09 and have lost 26 1/2 pounds; I wish I had done it sonner and you will have lots of support, I am glad I took CONTROL! GOod luck; Transformed
