Hi all. First post. I joined specifically to ask a question, which I'll get to momentarily. Long story short I had RNY in 2014, lost 120lbs in less than 6 months, then got pregnant with my daughter--I was still about 60lbs short of my goal after losing the 120. Maintained my weight throughout the pregnancy, but afterwards put on about 20lbs. Weird, I know. Anywho, I've used MFP the whole time, and even though I've been eating 1000-1200 calories per day (mostly protein) I can't get back to where I was before I started regaining. Do I need to do some kind of jump start/reset? Nothing but protein shakes for 2 weeks straight like I did before surgery? How would you proceed? I'm still wearing size 18/xl (which I NEVER in a million years thought I could wear again) but jeans are starting to feel snug Not happy about it. Todays meal plan: Breakfast-- Dannon light and fit greek with a handful of rasbperries. Lunch-- 6oz escarole and white bean soup with a veggie salad. Dinner-- chicken breast and sauteed spinach. I'm also planning to allow a snack of either egg salad or scrambled eggs. I'm not seeing a whole heck of a lot I can subtract from there besides the snack and the raspberries, but they're only about 7g carbs/30cal. Maybe eliminate the bean soup? I just don't know. On paper it seems like I'm doing what I'm supposed to! Frustrated. Thanks in advance.
