help I am stuck!

I'm not a nutritionist so I can't suggest calories. You'll find a very wide range of calorie allowances for different people here. Make an appointment with your nutritionist so they can help you establish the calorie range that is best for you.

I took Mis73 advice and I am logging my calories using the myfitness app. So far, I have been able to stay below 1,000 calories today. Good start, I hope!

Another "suggestion" ~ have you been able to spend time learning how the band really works? How to eat, and how to let the food settle or sit there without drinking to be able to fulfill the satiety gland so you do not feel hungry for the next 4 hours?

I was really amazed to finally truly understand how the band worked and what it was suppose to do and more importantly what I had to do, to make it work. Once I did understand and ate the proper foods, in the proper manner, IT ALL WORKED! It really was amazing and I wasn't hungry and I lost weight.

Good luck!

Do you have some suggested reading or websites? I'd really like to understand it better! I'm getting very frustrated as well. Im 3 months post op & I've only lost about 12 lbs since being banded. I have started logging my calories & doing moderate exercise but the scale just isnt moving!

I keep telling myself it has to move at some point but its not moved in 2 weeks & I've done everything right & definitely kept my calories at or below 1200 each day....mostly below. I've had 3 fills & I think I'm possibly in green aside from not losing weight!!!!!
