sOUNDS LIKE YOUR BODY JUST NEEDS TO ADJUST TO REAL FOOD AGAIN. i'VE HEARD THAT EATING UNDER 1200 CALORIES CAN SOMETIMES CAUSE A STOP IN WEIGHT LOSS BECAUSE YOUR BODY THINKS IT'S STARVING AND IS HOLDING ON TO EVERYTHING.

:thumbup: My name is Julie, I'm 37. I got my lap band 2-5-08. My starting weight was 258. Now I weigh 205.My surgeon is Dr Michael Lara at Del Sol Bariatric Center in El Paso Texas. I am thrilled I did it. I have to admit the results aren't as dramatic as I had hoped, but it has helped me quit a bit. I guess I was thinking in the back of my mind when they were lecturing about the diet and exercise I thought to myself " I won't need to try that hard !" And even though I'm not really deprived, I do have to work harder than I expected. But as I said I am happy I had the surgery and would absolutly recomend it to anyone struggling with a weight problem.

What type and how much exercise did you do? What was your diet like? I need to step up my progress and need advice.
