It's never too late to go back to basics. Why not make an appointment with your NUT (or a new NUT if your previous NUT is not available) to talk about your goals. Also, research on nutrition has brought quite a few changes in the last few years.

In the meantime:

track your food

focus on getting in at least 64 oz fluids

make sure you are getting in enough Protein (my Protein target is 100 grams, do you have a protein target?)

avoid added sugars (especially high fructose corn Syrup, starches, and fried foods

and, exercise

Good plan! I don't even know how much Protein I need though.

1gram of Protein for every inch you are tall should be the daily minimum. I am with @innersurfergirl

I would go back to the basics and start as if surgery was yesterday. Go back to liquids for a few days so that you flush toxins out.

Get rid of all the garbage in your house and if you are eating fast food, stay away from that.

That is what I would do.

Sounds like a good plan. I'll calculate my Protein

This person is not at maintenance yet. It looks like they need to go back to basics to get themselves to goal as a start.
