I am 13 months post op. I do exercise at least 30 minutes a day. I just keep loseing the same 3 pounds and then i will gain it back. I bought the shakeology and I was going to replace a meal with that. It has been a slow weight loss for me over the last year.

I haven't heard of shakeology, but if you don't intend to do it for the rest of your life, I don't think it's a good weight loss strategy at a year post-op. I know some people have to eat less to lose and it sounds like you may be one of those. Are you tracking what you eat? If not, start there. You need at least 65 grams of Protein and 64 oz. of fluids per day.

I also recommend weighing and measuring foods and liquids because it's easy for portion creep to sneak up on you. After tracking your food for a few days, look at where you can cut some calories without too much pain. Can you substitute a lower fat version of something? Cut out a snack? Are you eating white bread, rice, or potatoes? Eating whole grain instead of white grain and eating healthy starches, such as a sweet potato or Beans, will provide carbs that keep you full longer.
