One year anniversary and struggling to get last 20 pounds off

[BigDreams2014 1]

I am 11 months out from gastric bypass and have lost 65 pounds total. I am needing to lose another 20-30 pounds. I have been stuck at my current weight for well over 3 months. It just won't come off. Any tips? Am I not getting enough Protein? Too many carbs maybe? I do not feel I over eat at any one setting. I eat small portions but possibly I am eating too many sugars/carbs throughout the day. Overall, I just don't feel I eat over 1000 calories a day so I can't figure out why I am not losing anymore. Should I switch to 3 Protein shakes a day and only one meal? Or try to get 3 shakes in regardless of what I eat? Some have said I am not getting enough Protein. I am grateful for what I have lost and feel wonderful. I just don't want to have done such a major surgery and life change and not do it to the full measure. I am exercising, although some weeks it is not 5 days a week. Maybe I can get more consistent with that. Any help is appreciated!

Can you post an average food day? It may help others understand better what your Protein vs carb/ sugar intake is. How many grams of protein are you getting in each day?

I wouldn't be drinking any Protein Shakes. You should be getting all of your Protein from solid food at this point.

@@BigDreams2014 I'm by no means an expert but I would try cutting out the Protein Drinks.

I'm kinda in a similar situation. I'm 1-1/2yr. And I've not lost anything in 9 or 10 months to really amount to anything. I've lost 107lbs an need 50 more gone. But i no what needs to be done. Being a nurse I should no better, but it's very hard. you got to go back to the basics start as if you just came home from the surgery. drinks lots!!! But not during eating. Then for 1 week go to NO carbs then you should go into ketosis. Then ad in low carbs and then if your not getting enough Protein go to a shake. But very important limit your carbs... another important advise is LOG EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH. IT'S THE KEY TO SEEING WHAT YOUR ACTUALLY DOING RIGHT OR WRONG WITH FOODS.

I no i don't want to fall back into old habits and i did a little but I refuse to gain this weight back. I went thru to much. I hope this helps you. I'm always in need of advice.
