Okay...I'm getting pretty frustrated here. I'm consistently getting 900-1200 calories a day. I'm not losing anything. I just don't see how that is humanly possible especially since it says that I need 2350 calories just to maintain my current weight. I don't think I'm even losing inches any more!WTH?

I eat mainly high Protein, but I do have some carbs. I try to eat whole grains. I eat healthy fats, like almonds and I count every morsel on thedailyplate.com. The only thing I haven't been doing is exercising. I hurt my back and doing anything is painful.

Anyone else having issues like this?

Cathy -

You are averaging 2 pounds a week. That is great!

billy and cathy your doing great. 2 lbs a week is healthy weight loss, you might feel your slow losers, but hey i bet you have alot less saggin skin. It has been proven slow and steady weight loss usually leads to less sagginess. Keep your heads up your doing great!!!

I have now lost over 20 lbs! I am so excited! I am counting down to ONEDERLAND! Just 7 lbs to go!

I have found that going against all dieticians rules about weighing once a week. if I weigh every morning at the same time .(naked after going to the loo).. I can monitor my plateaus... My parents are doing this too (not banded just dieting)..my Dad has a 10 day period before he loses 1kg..my Mum has a 12 day period... I am still trying to figure mine out as I have had so many post op problems.. It looks like I am on the 12 or 13 day cycle though.. I think when I used to go to weigh in at clubs etc I was always weighin in on my heavy day!...

anyway.. a little tool that may help others... you need to chart your weight though to see the pattern emerge...

and hey ANY weight loss is great no!???.. we don't want it going in the other direction!!!... I have lost 30 pounds since 18th June surg

ery but nothing in the past 3 weeks (due to extra surgery and infection complications along with dehydration!).. no one said it was going to be easy this band thing!! lol

good luck everyone!!. we are doing great!
