Eating pretty much Nothing But the Scale Hates me!

Hi Everyone!
I had my RNY in 2008 and I have gained some weight since about 3 years ago.
I'm so ready to get rid of it but I can't shake it off.
I'm back to the basics... Protien shakes in the morning, Snack on a small piece of String Cheese. For lunch a Salad. and Dinner a Protein shake.

My weight is stuck!
Oh,,,, and I'm also doing T25 for 25 minutes.

I don't know what else to do.

Glad you are back.  You are way further out than I am 2 1/2 years, but I have noticed that any regain is a lot harder to take off even now.  You are 7 years post op and I am sure this is true for you.  You are back to basics and exercising which is great.  I hear your frustration.  Keep doing what you are doing.  I have lost 1/2 pound this month and trying not to sabotage myself.  I try and focus on how much better I feel when I am eating what my body needs to stay healthy even if the scale doesn't move.  Not easy I want the gratification that comes from my hard work. It will come just not as quickly.  I am impatient and want what I want.  The addict's mind.  I find it helps to commit my food to someone.  I try and do it here or MFP.  

Hi Drea29.

Yes, I was just reading my other posts. I now feel that I have to change my protein part of my diet.
MORE PROTEIN!!!! LOL!

Hang in there, I am also very impatient and when I don't see results in the scale I hate it. But one thing we must do.... Do not throw your hands up. Just try harder!

Hang in there GF! Let's do this.
Keep us posted!

I understand about regain!  I've had a couple of regain periods and they are rough.  I've been able to lose the regain but it was much different than it was the first time when I originally lost it.  It is much, much s-l-o-w-e-r of a weight loss which adds to the frustration.  

Back to basics is good but from what you list as to what you're eating, that doesn't seem like nearly enough.  Two protein drinks, a salad and a small piece of string cheese doesn't add up much.  I wouldn't have satiety either.  That would be what I'd eat on a diet.

I suggest you eat more lean protein, veggies.  Maybe a protein shake in the morning but for lunch and dinner, a lean protein such as chicken, fish, or other lean cut of meat.  You could have a salad  and for the other meal enjoy a steamed vegetable.  

With all you're doing (T25??  wow!) and eating, I'd be concerned that your body is going into starvation mode thus not losing weight.  When we restrict our food too low, our body hangs on and won't lose.  

Hi Cathy W. !!!

Thank you for taking the time time give me some input. Input that I gradually forgot out! PROTEIN!

I really do think that my body is thinking something else. I will change things tonight!

Thank YOU!

Give it a try and see what happens.  I don't know what the nutrition is of what you're eating but it can't be much. It would be interesting to see if you feel different physically and are more satisfied with more protein that you're eating.  The first time I had to lose my regain, I did protein shakes and a few other things and it was a set up for a binge (actually, binges).  When I ate more lean protein with my meals, I didn't feel as though I could eat an elephant.  My cravings subsided after awhile and I was able to stay on track.  

You got this!  

Too much proteins can cause gain weight. Lean proteins can turn into sugars...

Balanced proteins and fat and some carbs works best from me. 

Proteins - specially predigested like whey shakes..increase insulin production . 

Insulin prevents fat / weigh loss.

Google food insulin index. 

 

Thanks girlies!
I'm gonna give it a good (((SHAKE UP))) here. Today is my first day....

My protein is 30 grams per scoop... I don't know if I should double the scoop for my breakfast protein shake?

******* What do you guys think? ********

I would not. that does not work for me... but you can try and see what that does to you
