Need Advice

I am one year out from a RNY. I am 18 pounds from my personal goal. I have only lost two pounds in the last month. I need advice in how to start dropping weight again.

Track every bite you eat, cut out any carbs you have let sneak back in. 

Somewhere on the board it a meat reset plan that may be a good starting place. 

I can relate  - my weight loss slowed down to a crawl after the year mark as well.  But I'm still losing...

Weigh every morsel, and track it all. Count every calorie. Cut back and you will lose.

What really worked for me long term - even now 8 years post op is "calories rotation". Making sure I confuse the body.  I would average 800-1000 per day during the week but I would have days that I would have 1500 calories followed by days with much lower calories intake. And I make sure I don't eat the same food every day. Change the routine.  Less fat one day - more fat the other. I ditched all the fake foods - protein bars - and ate "real" food...Too many protein - in easy to digest and absorb protein shakes - my body can turn into sugars... So I made sure I did not eat more than 30gr of complex proteins _with fat, per a meal... I added healthy fat - like avocado, olives, even bacon fat (too much bacon makes me nauseated- unfortunately) to my diet. 

Because of my personal health condition - adrenal issues - I need to add some carbs to every meal to make sure my BS is stable...I found the 85% dark chocolate to be a blessing - as dessert. But even a few berries (few - like 5-6 strawberries) also did a great job. 

I have days that I am hungry and eat a lot (relatively) and days like yesterday that I had to work hard to get my 60gr of proteins in me. At the end - my weekly average should be 80 gr per day... And that 8 years post op. 

I typically don't eat grains, starchy veggies, or dairy... I lost my regain and I maintain my current weight without really counting calories...I weight every day when I am home...and adjust my eating based on that. When I am low on the scale (below my goal) I eat as much as my pouch let me...when I am in a middle of my range - I am very careful..when I am at the top of my range - I really portion my food... 

The first thing my nutrionist told me to do to start losing again was to get rid of protein shakes, protein bars and get my protein from real food.
