I really hadn't counted my calories until recently. A friend of mine had the band done and is eating 1200 cal a day. She suggested counting and that's when I realized I was only eating 900. I do feel full frequently, today was especially tough to get much down. Perhaps I should give the dr. a call in the morning. Maybe that is it, I am not eating enough. I have heard of that before when I was a Weight Watcher, that if I don't eat all my points you wont lose. Thanks for the advice, I will call tomorrow.

Thank you for your post, I dont think it is a pulled muscle, although when I stretch it does feel better. Perhaps I slept wrong.. I will watch the calories and keep chuggin along! Thanks for the help! Michellene

HI there and thank you for your post! I am only able to get in around 900 calories a day and per the treadmill I am burning 250. I just started training this month (my New Years Goal!!) and take in around 50 grams of protien. I have been able to drink in 65 oz of water. To be honest, today has been real tough drinking and eating. I am trying to get down a shake in hopes to simmer things down. I am wondering if PMS plays a role in tightness in the band? If so, then I bet that's it! As far as the stall... it is disappointing, but your right on all suggestions. I will work on getting in the water and protien to see if that makes a difference. I truly appreciate your input and congrats on your success!! Michellene

Thank you, I will give it another day with some stretching and fluids to see if it helps. Thanks for your repsonse! Michellene

Hi everyone, This is my first post to any forum and I am very excited about learning from new friends! I had my lap band surgery done in June 2013. I started in at 235.5 lbs and am now at 173.2. I was doing great at losing weight up until about 4 or so months ago. I am at a complete stand still. I don't eat alot and when I do eat it is the protien first. I am not sure if my body is happy being where I am. I am in the process of training for a 5k and work out everyday. What prompted me to post is that for a few days now, I have been having back pain on the left side and it has been tough getting anything down. I am not sure if anyone has experienced this before and if you have what you would suggest to help. I suppose I have 2 issues going on. I look forward to meeting new people and wish everyone the best of luck! Michellene
