Hi guys
I have been banded for 1 1/2 years now and have noticed throughout my journey that when following a 1200 calorie a day diet, I did gain weight. This was with regular exercise. It was totally fruatrating, and could not figure out why. With the fear of going into starvation mode, I did not want to eat less, but I had to try something else, so I cut down the calories and BINGO! I lost weight. So I'm a true beleiver that everyone's boby is different. Right now, I'm in the green zone FINALLY! and I'm able to eat 800-900 calories and stay satisfied.
