I was banded July 2014. I had steady weight loss and lost 45 lbs the first year. Since last year my weight has went yp and down 20 lbs. I journal, exercise, watch my carbs, had a fill 2 months ago. No complications. I eat at least 60g of solid protein. I have changed my workouts to a little more intense. I am frustrated because this was the last resort for me. I could use any advice for those who have stalled in their weight loss journey.

Have you talked to your NUT about your concerns? Your protein seems low to me. What does your NUT advise?

I have an appointment tomorrow. I will increase my Protein. The crazy thing is I eat at least 60g a day. Maybe my body requires more since I exercise more.

If you track your food, take a week's worth of data to your appointment. If you don't track, you'll be wise to start. The data serves as a learning tool, which is at least as important as just keeping a record.

60 grams isn't very much. My goal is at least 100 grams. The lowest I have seen from my surgeon is 80 grams.

There are surgery practices where the RD's say 60 is fine but is the minimum. Mine is one. She also told me never to go as high as 140, which can burn out kidneys. When I eat properly, I aim for 60-100. Offhand I'll say that it's been rare that I've gone to 100 if not overeating.

I know I need a fill. I can eat and be hungry in less than 2 hours. I think I am almost at the green zone. I will see how my appointment goes. I do not want to overfill so scared of slippage.
