Sweeney

I am 6 month out from banding. I have lost 50 pounds and I am stuck! I assume I have reached a plateau. Has anyone experience this and how long does it last. I am exercising (walking) and being very careful with what I eat. Sweeney in Kansas City

To BandedMomX6: I did increase my walking and I made sure I was getting 30 minutes a day. But the most significant thing was how I balanced my diet. I made sure to have the protein but have added some carbs like sweet potato and baked potato and I make sure to get two fruit servings. I continue to do one protein shake a day to supplement my protein. It really is just healthy eating following all the lapband suggestions. Hope you have had a good week.

Thanks to all that replied to my plateau question. I changed up by diet by eating protein, fruit, vegatable at each meal (lunch and dinner) and had egg whites and oatmeal for breakfast. Pushed the water to 100 ozs. LOST 7 POUNDS IN 5 DAYS. Amazing! Thanks for all the good advice. I will increase my exercise and keep tricking my body with new food choices periodically. Such a relief!
