I was banded on 10/07, and lost 15 lbs by the time I saw the Doctor on the 18th. I was very pleased.
Now I have been stuck........ I mean the scale has not moved one single ounce!!! for the past 10 days!! It is crazy maddening!!
I am keeping a food diary. Not eating anything off my approved food lists. Calorie intake typically between 850-1000 daily.
What am I doing wrong? I am feeling so frustrated!
You know it's interesting that you are counting calories. I know that seems weird to say, but my nutritionist told me not to count calories but Proteins for the first couple months. I was suppose to have around 60 grams of Protein a day, which mostly came from dinner for me. When I did that I noticed that I was more balanced when I ate. Combine that with liquids and some exercise and you have a good deal going. Now for me after time I went back to my old routine of counting calories and had a major plateau so I think I will go back to basics.
I just don't understand....
