Dealing with Plateaus?

For those of you who have hit plateaus how have you dealt with it?

My stats:

Banded June 22, 2012 - have lost 45 lbs

Hit Onederland the 2nd of Dec.

I weigh daily (I know many won't agree with that, but I do) my weight bounces back and forth between 199.2 and 200.8 since Dec. 2nd. I am counting calories and stay between 1150 and 1300 daily (closer to the 1200 mark). My fitbit says I am burning around 2000 calories or more a day. So I should be losing, but I am not.

I am getting 70 + oz of Water in a day and 65+ g of Protein a day. I am eating some carbs, but only complex and not many of those, since my last fill I have had a lot of trouble with breads and Pasta so I don't go there.

I am getting frustrated with this and don't want to fall back into bad habits out of frustration.

I have spoken to the doctor and nurtrtionist and both say this is normal and not to worry, it will start going down again soon. But, neither of them have had the band and both are skinny as rales.

Plateaus are normal. Some people find they can kick start weight loss again by changing up calories (up or down slightly) or varying their exercise routine. The key is to change what you are doing so your body has to respond.
