So, I had a fill and have definitely had restriction, but my scales are just stuck! I've counted every calorie that's gone in my mouth, drank more water than I cared to drink (200 oz) per day, and I'm active. What's my deal? Trying to stay motivated, but it's getting harder when I don't see results. On my first band journey I lost so fast!

if you are losing (inches) then you are losing weight

the scale may not show what you want (or stuck or not moving)

but if you are doing the right thing (eating/being active), it is working

keep it up and eventually it will drop. It sometimes gets stuck on plateau's.

Best wishes

For some people the types of calories matter more than how much. For me any types of carbs slows my metabolism and causes me to either stall in my weight loss or gain. Also, many people subscribe to the theory that too few calories can cause your body to go into starvation mode and hinder weight loss. Anyway, those are just a couple of ideas. Good luck!

I was on a plateau for six weeks and I was very unhappy. I read this thread

I started carb cycling on Sunday and have lost 5lbs so far. AMAZING!!! I upped my calories from 1000 to 1200 on high carb days. I'm just going to continue as long as I'm losing. LOVE IT!!!
