I can only comment on may own experience, but it was stressed to me by my doctor to maintain a lean high protein/low carb diet.....This will send your body into ketosis and it will start burning fat stored around the liver. So I was put on a diet of 60 protein/less than 30 carbs a day/ less than 700 cals a day. He recommended 2 protein shakes and a lean cusine to keep it simple. It took 4 days before my body hit ketosis then I started losing a pond a day for the next 10 days!! It was amazing to see the scale change like that!! So it may be worth considering.

I understand where you are coming from. I I have only lost 2 lbs in the last 5 weeks. I am keeping my cal around 1000 cal and working out 5 days a week. I can't understand it, but I can accept it. What else can we do? I chalk it up to my years of extreme yo yo dieting and being in my 40s. Even though the weight isn't coming off I can tell that my body is reshaping - my clothes are getting looser. It will come off as long as we keep working the band correctly and exercising. If you haven't gone too much over your regular caloric intake I would bet that it is just water weight and will leave as quickly as it came.

What an awesome NSV! I'll have to pay more attention when I put my bra on. Its so much a habit...I hadn't really thought about it. LOL.

Congrats! Whoo hooo! Keep up the good work!
