Lost on what to do.

[paclift13 1]

I'm not sure if anyone can help but heres my story. I had my surgrey on 9-9-13 and lost 20lbs the first month. Going into my 8th month and several fills (7.7cc) I am struggling to lose weight. I have gained some back and am stuck not losing any weight the last 3 months. I eat less than 60grams of carbs daily and around 100 Protein. I have 2 bad knees so i dont work out as much. I swim and ride an exercise bike. I dont know what else to do. I feel no restriction. Please help i'm about to give up.

Are you getting plenty of Water?

What does several fills mean? How many? And when was the last one?

What are you eating, what is a typical meal plan for a day?

60 g of carbs is a lot?

100 g Protein is also a lot?

What does your surgeon and nutritionist have to say and how long has it been since you've had a follow-up visit?

@@paclift13 let's get this figured out -- don't give up! Do you have a good relationship with your medical professionals? Sounds like a couple of appointments are needed to discuss band-friendly diet to get on track and assess potential for another fill. It doesn't matter how many we've had -- we are either in the green zone or not. I think there may be some culprit like Protein Shakes or bars, sliders like chips etc.? How about writing it all down for a week so you have a record. Do you use My Fitness Pal or anything like that? You couldn't believe how many calories I can get into a Protein Shake, lol. Even the good stuff -- fruit, fish oils, flax, chia -- plenty of calories. And nuts -- I have to watch those. And meanwhile don't look back -- you have your band installed, that's a huge step, now maybe it's the right time to get it working for you. We have to be in the right emotional space sometimes to get our head I to the game. You are doing that -- you're here, you're reaching out, you want to get healthy. We are all routing for you!
