I was banded 10/2 and have had a weightloss of 21 lbs. I did have a fill 2 weeks ago which has not resulted in restriction.

My weight is at a standstill even though I am exercising 30 to 60 minutes 5 days a week, eating protein and cutting calories to 1000 a day.

It's been about 3 weeks now and I am hanging at 209.5. What gives? I'm kinda sad...:eek:

I saw signs of a plateau coming on last weekend (scale hadn't moved for 3 days) so for 2 days I did super low carb (like less than 10 or so a day...before that I wasn't really watching carbs at all and I still dont) and REALLY high protein and then I added walking to my exercise routine. After the 2 days of no carb was over I slowly added back some carbs and took 1 day off from my cross training and elliptical exercise and just did my walk. I also went running one of the days which I never do. Basically I was just trying to confuse the crap out of my body. And it worked! My plateau started around 222.4 last weekend and as of this morning (Friday) I'm at 218.8. Just try to change something about what you're doing. If you're feeling like 1000 calories is where you should be at, how about doing 2 days of 900 calories and then 2 days of 1100 calories. I don't know what type of exercise you're doing but if you're only doing cardio, add in some weight training. Or instead of doing the treadmill, use the elliptical.
