Not enough calories?

Question to all you successful lap-banders...
do you lose more weight if you stick to 1000-1200 calories a day?
I have a feeling my crappy loss this week is because I am constantly eating very little calories
I've been tracking on myfitnesspal and my daily average intake is between 600-800 calories a day
Has anyone experienced this?
I keep thinking I'm doing the right thing by eating less calories but maybe it has the opposite affect?
I guess this week I shall experiment and I will try to hit a 1000 calorie intake everyday...hopefully I'll lose a bit more!

Shocking weigh in :(

I have done so well this week
I've been eating right, drinking water and have worked out
I am a scale whore so I've been checking daily and at one stage I was down 0.5kg but when I check this morning for my weekly weigh in, it says I'm only down 100gms
What's going on?!
It's so frustrating, I'm so disappointed in myself
Not having a good day :(

One week since fill

and things are amazing!
I am finally losing and I'm feeling great
No PB's, no sickness
I'm very rarely hungry,
I eat about 1/2 cup of food at a time...over a long period of time
I drink lots and lots of water!
And I've been going to Zumba

...If I had done this all along I would have reached goal by now!!!

Weight this morning = 96.1kg
I don't remember how much I weighed on my scales but the doctor's scales showed 97.7kg...and I know that on my scales I was heavier than that so WOOOO!!!

Definitely feeling a lot better...my jeans are already feeling looser!

10 week challenge

I am so motivated to lose the rest of this weight
I've been distracted for too long and was on the path of reversing my hard work
I have 35kg to lose to reach a "healthy" weight range and I know it's going to be difficult

I feel restriction
I haven't been eating much because for the first time I actually forgot to eat! I'm not feeling hungry and I'm not feeling too tight...hopefully I've found my sweet spot!

I've set myself a challenge to lose 10kg (22lbs) in 10 weeks
I know it's ambitious but I think I can get close

I guess it's time to admit my current weight...
96.5kg...it means I've gained a hell of a lot since being back from overseas :S
But now that I've admitted it I can get back on track

10 in 10 challenge stats:

HW- 126.6kg
CW- 96.5kg
GW for challenge- 86.5kg

Last weight in: 21st May 2012

New look for a new start :D

Life on the band front is good. I don't want to jinx myself but I think I'm at a good level of restriction. Still on soft foods for the weekend but I'm feeling in control and definitely feeling fuller for longer

Let's hope this weight starts dropping again!

Fill & Loss!

Went for my fill today with yet another lovely new doctor

To my surprise I have lost 1.8kg since my fill last week :)
Very happy with that
I think though that the loss is due to loss of water weight and also the fact that I did liquids for most days this week so I was on a very low calorie diet which I can't possibly keep up with for more than a few days at a time

I did feel slight restriction but I was still very hungry most of the day so I decided to get another small fill of 0.4cc.
The doctor took all the fluid out to check the measurement so I now have 4cc in a 10cc band and hopefully this will be close to perfect!

Zumba!!

Why did it take me this long to try it out?!
I loved it!!
Such an awesome work out
I'm going mondays and thursdays from now on
I love to dance and I think i'm pretty good....i probably looked like an idiot dancing away but i felt hot inside :P
When I reach goal I think I will learn salsa dancing and move to spain :P

By the way...
fill seems to be doing its job so far but it's too early to tell.

Todays intake:

- 2 x cappuccino (no sugar, light milk)
- optislim shake
- optislim and banana smoothie
- bacon, leek and potato soup
+ loads of water!

I feel in control so far
