CANNOT LOSE GRRRR

Journaling,exercising,eating 4 oz of protein at meals, no bread,rice, or pasta.

Tried upping protein with protein powder, switching exercise and food.

Drinking my water. I feel restriction so don't think I need a fill. Refused one last mo.

My nut in office is ditzy.

Band' o Band what do you want me to do tell me i'll do it.

28 lbs to go ...

I maintained my weight loss for 6 months and I went in last month and got a slight fill .5cc I think I have found my "sweet spot"...it took me almost 2 years to find it...lol I have lost 8 pounds this past month. I have 12 more to go before my goal of 160!! I would try a fill....

What is the math? I mean, how many calories a day do you consume & how many calories do you expend? Consume 1400 calories and use 2100 should mean you're using 700 calories more a day than you take in, so in one week you should have used 3500 calories which is equal to 1 lb per week. Of course, Water retention and muscle addition will cloud the picture?

How long have you been plateaued?

I went 3 months and lost no weight. I got fill #5 in March and also sat down with the Dr's dietician/nutritionist. She made some observations on why I'm stuck where I was and what I could do to start losing weight. She was right. I lost 16 lbs in 6 weeks just by getting rid of some silly pet foods I was hanging onto.

Take your journal of foods eaten to your dietician and see if she/he can make some suggestions. I've found my Dr. is clueless now that I've had my surgery. I really rely on my nutritionist now much more than my doc. He's only good for fills at this point.

I'm sure not all docs are this way but mine is.

Just curious - what silly food were you hanging onto? Just wondering if I am doing the same.

Dhales,

I was drinking a beer or 3 every week, latte every morning(1% milk, splenda), bread, an occasional light ice cream. I compromised and cut out the beer, 3 latte's a week and no light ice cream. I also found some other things to cut back with such as only 1 slice of turkey, slim slices of cheese for sandwiches. Mostly I just started to rid my diet of excess calories. Seems like I should have been doing this all along? But, I figured it's only a few calories here and there but when we added them all up, it was 300+ calories per day. 300 X 30= 9000 calories per month or nearly 3 extra lbs.

I kicked up my exercise routine a little more and the combination seemed to work. I'm still consuming 1300 or so calories every day so I'm not feeling hungry thanks to the band. Hope this helps someone?
