What is your diet like on a typical day.

I'm sure it's very discouraging.  But, look at it this way:  you are losing.  You can't give up, because what would happen... you'd gain all the weight back, and some bonus pounds too.  Keep plugging away.  Do you track on myfitnesspal?  If so, why not copy yesterday's menu here so we can  take a look at it and maybe have some ideas that will help you.  Have you spoken with your Nutritionist?  What are your daily guidelines?

So, keep at it, and post a menu.

Check your carbs; from what I've read, too many carbs and too little exercise has been problematic for many VSG patients.

What, exactly, are you eating every day?  If you give us a typical meal or two, we can help troubleshoot. 

You said in another comment that you have to supplement meals with shakes to get enough protein which means you might not be optimizing the meals you do eat. 

So share a day's meals and we can help.

How many eggs?

I'd cut the Luna bar, it's no better than a candy bar and won't help you to lose weight. 

What are the stats on your protein shake?  It's definitely good to get the protein boost within 20-30 minutes of exercise, so that's smart :)

You're eating and exercising similarly to what I do. The main difference I see is that I do three meals a day instead of the five you're doing. So my first change would be getting rid of that Luna bar. (And many of the Luna bars contain soy.)

Actually, you're eating six meals a day. How many nuts are you eating?
