I hear you, clear as a bell. But I...Hey Michelle... I hear you, clear as a bell. But I think your body is probably just recovering from surgery, retaining water and adjusting to exercising again. I say: Give it 10 days, THEN you can freak out.<br /><br />Also, I've read from so many people that weight loss with the band is a series of plateus. You lose a bit, stall a bit, lose a bit more. So while I most definitely understand your inclination to freak out, I don't think we're "there" just yet. <br /><br />I am convinced you are going to do awesome with this band. You just have that fire about you. I have total faith in you :) Keep up the good work!Humble Beginningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165630419411115813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953143357449293432.post-63170053544932839992012-06-09T08:15:33.676-07:002012-06-09T08:15:33.676-07:00Thanks MD ....

I too think due to the type of workouts I do will need to be in the higher calorie range or else my body is going to starve. <br /><br />Ill get back to you once I read up. Thank you for the support... I am pulling myself up out of a dark place I was in earlier this week.<br /><br />It's a beautiful day today in Michigan, I just completed a 45 min spin class 17 days after surgery, I feel flicking awesome....

One thing I can say is that I do not lose ANYTHING if I'm under 1,000 cals. I have to be close to 1200 (no exercise) or 1300-1500 if I have moderately exercised that day. My band surgery was 11 months ago. Look back at my blog and see what I was saying then! I was hungry all the time and miserable until I could get fills and really work the band. Get protein in any way you can. Please eat some more (I know, isn't that freakishly strange?!).Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481080951811877651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953143357449293432.post-40947553974277222362012-06-08T13:12:03.806-07:002012-06-08T13:12:03.806-07:00Oh Michelle!

Just keep it up, you're not hungry and you're working out, the weight will come off. If it doesn't you may want to talk to your doctor about a low carb diet. I can tell you from my own experience and from following all of the banded bloggers this absolutely happens to everyone. Keep your chin up and your feet moving!!!mdlapbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473601140049901869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953143357449293432.post-7138090082459551782012-06-08T07:03:37.496-07:002012-06-08T07:03:37.496-07:00Oh girl...

Your body has been cut up and is healing. Not to mention you've been on liquids for like 4 weeks! Your body has been through alot! Your caloric intake may be working against you. Under 1000 calories in a day is simply not enough. ESPECIALLY when you are exercising. I wouldn't stress about minimal loss/gains these first couple of weeks. Let your body heal and go from there.The Dandy Bandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206224516876930032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953143357449293432.post-20405405090510625682012-06-08T06:57:27.897-07:002012-06-08T06:57:27.897-07:00Ok that is a good point I am looking at the NET ov...Ok that is a good point I am looking at the NET overall ending which is way below the red line for all days. I went back and removed all my exercise and ended up right at the red line and over on 2 days. My lowest day was 916 and my highest day was 1339. <br /><br />So, I am not going to log my exercise anymore and try that. Right now I am very limited on what I can eat due to mushies...so I have had alot of homemade chicken salad and egg salad and deli made ham salad. <br /><br />These would not be "normally" something I would consume for 7 days in a row. This week I get more variety so maybe that will make a difference.Michelle https://www.blogger.com/profile/02190095491442644277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953143357449293432.post-35554940240632274502012-06-08T05:40:48.063-07:002012-06-08T05:40:48.063-07:00Ok, you need to forgive me for being thick here bu...Ok, you need to forgive me for being thick here but when you say calories net, do you mean the total calories you have eaten or the calories you have eaten - the calories you earned working out.<br /><br />I would say it sounds more like your body is adjusting to the new regime and with the after effects of the operation it can take a week or 2. Maybe it would be good to keep your total calories between 1000 and 1200. How are you doing with the carbs and protein thing? Are you getting to the toilet ok because that can really skew the scale? and all of us bandsters know, it is never the same post op. Hope it rights quickly for you though.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899213275796695472noreply@blogger.com
