I was banded on Dec 7th. and have lost 30 pounds since surgery day. I really, really REALLY want to hit 40 by Feb 7. Keeping a track of 20 pounds per month. I am busting butt excersizing. Do you think IM doing too much? I walk 3 miles on level 6-7 on the treadmill every weekday. On weekends I hit the hiking trail and increase every hike by 1 or 2 miles. I did an 8 mile hike today in 2 hours 30 min. No big deal, Im not looking for great times, just the fact that I did the darn thing. Only took in 800 calories today with 90 gms of protein, and my scale has not moved. WTHeck! I know, I know, my husband says my body is transitioning the fat to muscle... Im getting tired of hearing about that. Maybe I should layoff walking so much? Can I have some feedback? December bandsters.. where are you with weightloss and excerisize? My daytime job is at a bank, so I sit at a desk most of the day.What do I need to do differently?

You are doing a lot of exercise and not eating a lot of calories. It might sound contradictory to weight loss but you do need to fuel that engine we call a body. Imagine how long your car can keep running on low fuel levels? Try eating a bit more and you may find the weight loss kicks in again.

Good luck

Hi. I am a December bandster too (12/5) and my total weightloss is 42 lbs (18 lbs lost preop and 24 lbs lost since surgery). I have not been exercising at all yet but plan to begin this month (had some knee issues). I would say that your 30 lb loss is great, especially since you are exercising so much -- I know you are tired of hearing it but you are likely building up muscle and they say the best weightloss is 1-2 lbs/week which is more like 8lbs/month than 20lbs/month.

You're doing great! K
