I've tried steak, shrimp, cottage cheese, yogurt (but I have a really hard time going without sugared flavor), eggs a million ways, and I know that there are thousands of other things to eat out there, but I'm bored. I'm not even sure that I'm eating enough; I haven't lost weight in a while.

I understand about wanting sugary stuff, especially if you were a carb addict pre-surgery. Here are a few suggestions that you can go with that are still DS friendly"
Cottage cheese with pineapple
Cottage cheese or greek yogurt mixed with SF syrups. See if there is a Smart and Final, Cash & Carry, or some other type of resturant supply store near you. They have many varieties of SF syrups. Starbucks also carries a few good ones, with the extra bonus of not having sugar alcohols.
Carb Smart ice cream - I've found bars and plain vanilla at Safeway.
Ricotta fluff : Container Ricotta, SF Jello Cheesecake pudding, a couple of dollops of sour cream to taste. Mix first 3 ingredients well - really well to minimize Ricotta graininess - then add half & half or cream to thin out to desired consistency. You can also add flavored SF syrup, cocoa, etc. to customize your fluff.
High protein mock cheesecake - mix a container of SF Jello cheesecake pudding in with a large container of Fage or other high protein, low carb greek yogurt. Or you can do like I do and get small Greek yogurt cups and then add amount of SF Jello cheesecake to taste so you don't have a ton that has to be eaten in a week period. I mix 1 cup of yogurt with 1/5 to 1/4 pkg of pudding. Yum.
Shake cake, recipe compliments of the awesome Kayla: 1 T. dark, plain cocoa (NOT the cocoa mix that has a ton of sugar.) , 1/4 t. baking powder, Splenda to taste (3-4 pkgs), scoop protein powder, 2 - 3 T. oil, 1 T. vanilla, water or cream to get a batter consistency. If the batter tastes good, so should the cake & vice versa. Mix all ingredents, then microwave for 35 - 45 seconds. Top with whipped cream.
Adkins bars.
Rockin Roll bars - taste like a Payday to me but have 21 g. protein and only 2 g. insulin impacting carbs. (But these DO have sugar alcohols that can do a number on newbie stomachs...)
AmberLyn or other low carb chocolate bars (again, beware of Sugar alcohols.)
I got these at a Costco road show but they can also be ordered from the website. The dark chocolate mint tastes like girl scout cookies (minus the crunch.)
There are many, many other things that are okay for DSers and yet are okay to eat. Check out earlier bites & vites to see what others are eating for suggestions.

I think I may have been doing that as well - otherwise WHY have I been stalled for nearly 4 weeks??? I've started consistently exercising with C25K training and keeping carbs between 65 & 85 grams net lately. I'm trying to get back some of my lost muscle mass, too.
Maybe my loss has stopped because I'm building muscle from the exercise? I don't know.
My stall actually broke, but in the wrong direction! Being that it is my 'lady time', I've gained 6 pounds. I'm hoping & praying it will be gone after my cycle is through.
Note to self - try to post daily to have more accountability.
Bites:
B: Fage 0% greek yogurt with SF Jello cheesecake mix, half peach
L: Julian bread w/ 2 oz sliced thin Turkey & 3 oz swiss Cheese
1/3 pkg of cheese nips (salt craving)
S: Half of Rockin' Roll bar
D: Plan on having snow crab in melted butter after workout
S: Plan on Shake Cake & spray whipped cream
Total cals. 1,896 Net Carbs 51 grams Protein 172 grams
