I'm so frustrated for 2 months and two weeks have only lost 10 pounds after last fill. I was only eating 800 cals a day with 70g of Protein. Just two weeks ago upped my cals to 1100 and 100gs of protein and lost 5 pounds. Just don't feel like I'm loosing as fast as I should considering what all I'm eating which is buy the book any ideas

Honestly, for a male, I still think you're eating too little. I would guess a man would need 1500-1700 calories a day. 1100 is considered on the low end for females even.

Btw, 5 pounds in 2 weeks is very good.

There are a couple of us trying carb cycling to increase our weight loss. I started researching it during a plateau that lasted over 5 weeks (yeah I was not happy). Perhaps it could help you too? http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/159669-carb-cycling-an-experiment-gone-right/

Best wishes to you.

Honey I went a whole year without weight loss. It happens and you just have to plug on. Then I had drastic weight loss and now will be losing my gallbladder because of it. Believe me lose it slow. Those who want fast weight loss are setting themselves up for problems. My doctor said those with extreme weight loss usually end up with gall stones so dont be in a hurry. Let your body adjust it has no choice but to start losing eventually.

Plus, and Im just giving this an educated guess, but if Your body thinks its starving it aint givin up an once of weight. Im in menopause and somethin is whacko, and thats exactly what was goin on with mine. Good luck! It'll stop, and all of a sudden you'll start losin again.As she said too fast is bad, bad, bad, and its important! Sincerely, Sandy

Well don't let me fool ya I wish the weight was gone yesterday, but I don't feel losing a pound or two a week is fast. And in 10 weeks of only losing 5 pounds is kinda devastating when u lost 39 pounds in 4 months. I guess losing is better than gaining I'm just truly and more than ready to be liter and healthier than I was and this damn cold weather doesn't help in the exercise area either.

Well really 2lbs a week is normal for banded people whether you want it or not. Any more then that is just a plus.

If ya think cold weather is bad for exercise, try doin it when its say.....88 degrees out. THAT is tough! Particularly (and you wouldnt know bout this personally, I hope) whenyer prone to hot flashes anyways. Yeah buddy, its really special! Ha, lol. Hang tough dude, yer scale isnt broken , and it will just start droppin one day, wait n see, I PROMISE!! Sandy

I'm at 1200-1300 calories per day and I'm close to 2 pounds a week with some exercise. Try upping the calories a bit and dropping the protein down to 70g-80g per day. Do this for 5-10 days.

What r your fat,carb,sugar and protein intake daily. I eat shake for breakfast a cup of lentils for lunch and usually 3 ounce baked chicken with 1/2 cup of some veg. If I can't eat that much chicken then another shake after supper to get my protein in

Stop drinking shakes and eat food. Shakes should only be used in the first couple of months after that they should go out the door. I eat 90 to 120 grams of protein a day, 60 grams of carbs, not much fat maybe 30 grams if that. I try to stay under 30 for sugar. Those shakes are killing your diet. You should only be eating food now. If you are too tight in the morning eat greek yogurt. Eat more then three times a day. I eat every couple of hours. Something is always going in my mouth. I just dont eat crap. I snack on grape tomatoes and other low calorie veggies. Lentils are good protein but also a lot of carbs. You are not eating enough protein without shakes. Drinking calories does not help you.

Give me an example of a daily meal plan for u please

Greek yogurt for breakfast and 1 cup of skim milk 6:30 am

Zone perfect bar for snack 8:30 am

Laughing cow cheese and pretzel crisps for snack 10:30 am

4 ounces of salmon and asparagus for lunch 12:30 am

1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese 2:30 pm

1 cup of grape tomatoes 4:30 pm

4 ounce chopsteak and green beans for dinner 6:30 pm

You see not much carbs here and only one starchy carbs the whole day. I dont eat anything else the rest of the night. Your body needs 12 hours to burn all the calories you have consumed

3 eggs scrambled, fat free milk first

1 cup of greek yogurt

1 cup of grape tomatoes

black bean casserole

zone perfect bar

4 ounces of fish with edamame

Quaker weight control oatmeal with fat free milk

edamame with sea salt

laughing cow strawberry spread with pretzel crisps

two Spicy black bean burgers

Greek yogurt

Chef salad with more meat then lettuce.
