So I had my surgery on october 25th. I am at 30 lbs loss right now. I went for another fill today that puts me at 10 cc. I feel like I am doing something wrong, but don't know what. I exercise on the eliptical 30 minutes daily. I am consuming less than 1200 or 1000 calories a day. Any one have any ideas?

Eat more maybe. Maybe up your exercise. Play around with your calories and see what works. BTW 30lbs gone is great!!

Take a look at what your 1200 calories is comprised of, i.e. the type of foods. There are some foods that we consider healthy that don't necessarily support or stimulate weight loss. Is your 1200 full of carbs and sodium or raw vegetables and Fiber? Also, you may need to up your time exercising and/or change up your routine. Your body has probably gotten used to that 30 min routine and isn't working any harder to shed the lbs.

Also try to switch up on your cardio. Maybe the elliptical some days, the bike others, the treatmill. Mix in some weight training... Your body gets used to the same thing and it becomes less effective on weight loss. Good luck!

A 30lb. weight loss in that time period is about 1.5lbs. a week on average that you have lost--THAT is not doing anything wrong! But I agree with other posters, what are you eating? Also, what is your weight/height (to get a ballpark of your calories needed to maintain and lose), and how many calories are you burning during your workout?

I agree, 30lb in four-ish months is good, healthy weight loss. The lapband is not a surgery that will often result in superfast massive weight loss.

I did a lot more exercise than that - more like an hour a day - and I still only lost at about your level. I did eat a good 1500 calories a day though. To me, I'd never ever lost weight consistently, week in week out and once I passed the 10kg that I was always able to lose, I was utterly thrilled with my 1 to 1.5lb per week. It certainly adds up over time. Its all in how you look at it, its weight coming off and you're 30lb lighter, why on earth would you choose to feel negatively about that? You arent doing anything wrong at all!
