I was banded June 12. I started at 255 and I am currently 189. I was losing 2-4 per week and eating 900 (800-1000) calories a day. I stayed within my allowance 98% of the time. Majority I am 920. I started working out. I do 30 cardio and weights 5 days a week. I have only lost 2 in the past 3 weeks. Very frustrating. Any thoughts if I should increase my calories to 1000-1200? I do focus on Protein and have 70-90 a day.

I will say for me the more I lost the more I seemed to have to eat. I know this may not make sense but I was stuck at 172-175 for months eating 900-1000 calories. I increased my calorie intake to 1200, started doing cardio 5 days a week and strength training 3 days a week and started losing again. Maybe increase your calories to between 1000 -1200, add a snack in the afternoon. I do Peanut Butter, natural from Earth Fare 1 tablespoon and half a small banana. It is amazing how adding a little can make a difference. Good luck and congratulations on your success to date.

Also remember that muscle weighs more than fat per volume.
