2 week plateau

[Ro-Jae327 4]

So okay, I tried to be patient about this but....I can't take it anymore, I have to talk about it. I was banded on 6/17/11 and have lost a good amount of weight. I'm happy about that but I have been on the plateau for like 2 weeks. I have actually gained 2 lbs. Well actually, I was sick about a week and a half ago and lost 8 lbs in 2 days because I had a really bad stomach virus and just had really bad diarrhea, so basically (I pooped out 8 lbs) sorry TMI! Which means really that was Water weight, but now I can't seem to get going again. My diet hasn't changed, I still eat and do the same things I did before I got sick. Probably more exercising so I don't get it. I have had 3 fills and not at 5.8cc in a 10cc band. How long will it take for my weight loss to start again? I need help!!!

you will need to change up your diet and exercise. you body can use to the same thing over and over again..

I hit a stall for a good month maybe a little more . I was eating 800 to 1000 calories a day exercising to Zumba four days a week and couldn't lose a pound . I got so upset and depressed I started to eat some things I never touched the first six months of my surgery and got extremely lazy in my exercise. I'm still struggling to get back on track.

I was told my calories was way to low and my carbs for my body with my weight and the exercise I was doing. I think I screwed up my metabolism from keeping my calories way to low .

Why dont you try adding more calories into your diet and good carbs, fruit, veggies and things like that.

I went to the store to get back on track again and I am going to up my calories it cant hurt nothing. I lost more weight when I was eating 2000 calories a day then I was eating 800 to 1200 per day .

I have been doing research on calories and such and it says that after awhile keeping your calories to low damages your metabolism and either you have to up your calories to start losing again or you have to drastically cut your calories to start losing .

oops so sorry for the double posting dont know what happened lol

Thanks so much Steeler. I think that is my problem. I eat only 800 a day. I know now that is not enough. My doctor's office told me that I should be around 1000-1100 cal a day! To me that's crazy because I can't eat that much at one sitting. I get full so quick. (that's the point right??). So I know that I really need to upping my calories and hopefully that will do the trick! Thanks again.
