Support and advice needed please?

Hey guys...I posted about a week ago of my trials and tribulations.... Basically, the rundown is, my weightloss had a major stall and even though I'm about 8 months postop, the scale has been stalled for about three months. This is in part to: at first I wasn't getting enough protein, so my body thought I was starving...then I was depressed I wasn't losing so I started drinking the occasional soda again (this is really my only weakness)...and I wasn't working out because I had been layed off from work and lost my gym membership....

So.........I am trying to get back on track. Even though I haven't been as active as before, I know I have been getting in my protein, and do not eat bad, and have not been drinking enough soda for me to lose NO weight... I have an appt with my surgeon on Wednesday and will hopefully follow up with him and see if there are any underlying issues...

I have been back at work for a bit now, and am rejoining a gym this week. I know the first step is to completely cut out the sodas and increase my water intake.
Any other advice? Should I try my pre-op liquid diet or just protein shakes and a small meal daily to jumpstart my weightloss again???

Thanks so much to anyone who made it to the bottom of this...I really appreciate all of your support!

Jus get back to basics:

no drinking 30min before or after eating
protein first
wiegh and measure your food
chew everybite 20-30 times
no soda, caffeine or alcohol
70 plus oz fluids daily
excercise

You CAN get back on track!!!
