I second Luvin_life! I am not only a bariatric surgery patient who is 2 1/2 years out but I am also a nurse of 32 years. Those "diets" are what got us all here in the first place. This is not a bariatric "diet", this is a way of life that you chose when you had the surgery. Hopefully you were well informed on the requirements of maintaining health after having 80+% of your stomach removed. Who's timetable are you on that says you have to lose so much a month, week, year, etc.? Everybody is different and you will lose weight. Do you realize that you said you weren't doing what you are supposed to like exercising and eating Protein and you know it but yet you are going to revert back to doing a "diet" that you have probably tried in the past that will be detrimental to your health, especially now that you have certain health needs that are non-negotiable like Protein and Vitamins and minterals?
I am not trying to preach but be patient and follow the plan you paid a Physician thousands of dollars to give you and risk your life to do. (Just being put to sleep is a serious health risk especially when you are obese). Do the exercise and the protein the correct way and it will come off. You are risking serious health complications and malnutrition if you do not get the required protein. My niece is going through that now and has to have transfusions monthly because she did not follow what the Dr. told her and she is 10 years out. She has ruined her health because she did not want to eat the protein and go by the plan the Dr. gave her. She is only 36 years old and will probably never recover!!! Please take care of your health and I am hoping that is why you decided to do this anyway and not to just lose weight. I hope you hear the compassion and caring in this because believe me it is there!!! I wish you only the best!!
you are doing great! just keep on doing what you are doing. if you're "stuck", you can try to mix things up a bit... try a different workout, eat a little more one day and a little less the other, drink more Water... but there's nothing wrong with the rate you are losing at.
