Anyone else dealing with weight loss slow down? I am only loosing about 3 lbs a month and that is with strict calorie counting and daily exercise. Anyone have a good way to jump start my weight loss again. Only have a month until my bandiversary

perhaps low-carbing it for a week will get the weight moving again. I am 20 pounds from goal and am low carbing it and the weight does seem to come off a bit faster. low carbing - i mean under 30 grams of carbs per day. I use myfitnesspal to track this info. I am also trying my hardest to stay under 900 calories per day which isn't that hard. The only exception is for special occasions like Mother's Day this Sunday. If i don't see some progress I am going to try for a week the below diet.

My weight loss is also totally stalled. My doc isn't worries, but I have only lost about 5 lbs since February. I am trying to up my Protein and increase Water intake now- but it is HARD. I was prob only taking in around 20 protein a day and now trying to find a way to get to around 100 and I am finding it really hard

Mine has slowed way down also. I am at my "sweet spot" and don't think I need a fill - my portions are good, I am staying "full" so I am not quite sure what is going on. When I look at the big picture my weightloss average is right where it is supposed to be - 1-2lbs/week, but geez I want more :) I just upped my exercise routine this week so hopefully I will see results soon. I was hoping to be at 130lb by my year anniversary but at this point it doesn't look like it will happen - So I reset my goals to be in the 150's for my year checkup with the doctor (June 30th). I do have to say that although my weightloss has slowed down I am so HAPPY with my results.

I was hoping to be 100 lbs down by my 1 year band-aversary - but that's not going to happen. I am at 80 lbs and my 1 yr is on June 8. I don't need a fill either.

How many cc's are you all at almost one year out?

I am at 10.6 cc's. Twice I have been overfilled and had to have some taken out.

Thanks for the thoughts guys I am feeling better. I get about 60 grams of Protein a day, and about 100 grams of carbs, and eat about 1100 calories total. I have started working out everyday to work on my tone. I am also down 80 lbs. but was hoping for 100 by my bandiversary June 4th.

How many calories is everyone eating a day? Am I high at 1100? Any less and I don't have the energy to do anything.

I am at 9.4 cc. I have tried going up to 9.5 cc twice but both times I dropped it back down because I was sticking to frequently. It is weird though I can eat almost everything at 9.4 and nothing at 9.5. So I wish there was more restriction to keep me from eating too much but I guess at this point it's back on me :(

Thanks everyone! I love having this support!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
