2200 calories a day is too many. Most of us who get morbidly obese are very efficient metabolisms, capable of running our bodies on very few calories. Some recent research suggests that the MO may actually be capable of extracting more calories from their food than 'normal' people do.
Basically, you want to eat like the Atkins diet.
Read the labels VERY carefully. Most protein bars are NOT low-carb, alas.
Also, don't buy foods that have been artificially made to be low- or no-fat. When they take the fat out, they replace it with CARBS. Fat isn't your enemy---carbs are.
Pre-op, I was a stone-cold Coke Classic addict. I stopped it cold-turkey the day I scheduled my surgery---that was the only way I could kick the habit. I didn't change anything else about the way I ate, just cut out the Coke, and I lost 12 pounds in six weeks.
Thank you. After reading your post, I reflected on my stalls, and previous times in my life that I was at that weight. I think my stalls may be for the same reason. Thank you for bringing that to light for me.
thank you for some ideas! it really helps to hear what some people are doing to loose. Carbs can be hard to give up for sure. I always thought i was educated on diet it just never worked for me. turns out there is a lot of information i never knew that could help a whole lot.
again insulting and putting down not informing. how does that help anyone? my point is again that the Dr didn't tell me crap and I am asking what i need to do. And yes i have made huge changes in my diet because of a little education. the point is i need advise of what to change.
I also clearly said that i have drastically dropped the pop and working on stopping it all together. I don't want to continue on the path i was on I am trying to change. if you feel better bashing people then bash away but its not constructive. how about giving some real advise.
i am also exercising more than 10 minutes 3 times a week that is just what the dr said to do!
protein bars not good enough for you? the dietitian i spoke to told me to do that. what exactly would you recommend?
I had my surgery 2-2-15 was 257 now 167. Had many stalls along the way. For me, they were all emotional stalls. I experienced this over and over, It was usually around a weight I was sometimes for a very long time or a weight that I got to after eating from some traumatic event. I am just 10 pounds from my goal and love the way I look so losing the last ten has its issues but I am going to just allow my life to unfold. I hope this helps. 
Be honest with yourself already! Your diet is protein rich lol ( you have Pop Tarts for breakfast now a healthier BAR)l! Come on man be real! You eat a diet of 1200 this past 3 months on your medically supervised diet and 600 calories of that is sugar laden soda - the rest is protein rich.
The truth is if you are not the doll Baby Alive then nutrition DOES matter to your body. It is only a matter of time before it rebels! When you are a teen or in your 20's you can get away with doing lots of screwed up stuff to you body. In the end, we have to pay down the debt and sometimes it's a large painful one.
Keep drinking your pop and eating like you hate your body. When you get sleeved, you may lose beautifully for the first year . . . or not then the gig is up. We have to change to become better. Insanity is doing well he same thing over and over expecting as different result.
And walking 10 minutes 3 times per week - if you are well able is ***** cat!
Call me a mean witch I don't care. My intentions here are to have people get better, do better when they know better. Sometimes people need to get pissed off. That rush of feelings put the wheels in motion.
Good luck with everything

all my medically supervised diet said was to have less than 2200 calories a day and walk for 10 minutes 3 times a week. they didn't say how to use the calories. as far as weight loss surgery rules i was told eat protein first and chew well. that's all i was told. i lost 80 lbs with my lap band but yeah since taking it out i have not been following anything specific. calories in does not equal calories out to loose. if it works for you than great no need to be rude about it.
I dont eat cakes and cookies and candies. I obviously know pop is not good for you but as long as i was counting calories by the rule i should have still lost. what the other person said about sugar makes sense that a body uses that for fuel and not the stored energy. I am asking for help if you know it all then maybe you should be more helpful and less criticizing.
Wow your medically supervised diet advises to use half of you calories and nutrition on soda? Odd as you've already had 1 weight loss surgery. Have you ever followed the WLS rules? They never left me.
Also starvation mode is load of bull. If you calories in/ calories out = you!
Good luck!
