Weight Loss Stall

Is it a stall or is it all the consessions I've been making when I am around friends? I don't know? I haven't been working out as much - although Wyatt keeps me pretty damn active. I am serious!

I am still at 70 pounds lost. I thought by now I'd be at 74 pounds lost. I know! 4 pounds doesn't sound like much, but to me - its a month of nothing! No losses! I know its normal to plateau too, but...I don't know if its that or my intake?

Its tricky this far out - you begin eating more, and its a fine line between starving and overeating...today I had

Breakfast: grande nonfat latte
Morning snack: granola bar
Lunch: low fat torilla with 1/4 avocado and 2 tablespoons hummus
Dinner: 1/2 of a low fat burger (low fat meat pattie, an egg, 2% cheese slice, 45 cal bread, low fat mayo, ketchup and dijon) plus 2 Tablespoons baked beans.
Snack: cup of tea and granola bar

I feel bad about eating the baked beans and having 2 granola bars in one day - too many carbs. I probably need to start drinking protien shakes in the evening if I am still hungry. Wyatt and I eat dinner at 5pm so I get hungry by 9pm...protien shakes have so many calories though! I have to get an appointment with the nutritionist. I guess I've been dragging my feet becasue I don't think the base has a good nutritionist that really knows gastric bypass diets. I do have an appointment with a therapist for my "eating disorder". I'm skeptical about that appointment too. I'm interested to see what my labs will look like at my 9 month appt. They have been fine so far.
