My nut says no need to space water/liquids and your liquid protein out. So no waiting 30minutes pre and post meals since it is all liquids. But when you start any kind of solids then the spacing has to happen. I think @Berry78's plan sounds solid if it was me. There's no rush to advance the diet and we all heal differently at different rates. ((hugs)) and hang in there. It's supposed to improve daily!

Also, messing with the guts can cause a disruption of neurotransmitters that affects our mood! Make him get moving, get in sunshine when possible and also watch comedies! Laughter releases endorphins (happy hormones)! And follow @Berry78's great advice!

It really is great, and feeling the effects of less gherlin...I am not hungry, I am not always thinking about food, or grabbing a snack when I drive somewhere, or what snack I can get in the evenings. I am just not interested in food, just a bit here and there, but a little bit of soup or cream of wheat, or sipping a protein shake...and bam, not hungry, not thinking about eating. Wish I did this ages ago!!

I know Jack **** about bone broth but see it on here all the time. How does like lipton soup broth (without the noodles obviously) compare to home broth? Or is that not even remotely close go the same thing

I'm 2 1/2 years post op and just hit 100 pounds of weight loss. It's been a long slow road but at least the scale has gone in the right direction. I still have 71 pounds to go. I'm wondering if anybody has some jumpstarting tips or even pearls of wisdom for me. I need to get some more of this weight off before I lose my mind. Thank you!

Make sure you are drinking enough water or liquids. If water is hard to drink try crystal light lemonade. Make sure you are at least walking every day if not exercising. Also make sure if you are eating it is the majority of protein in your diet, and definitely don’t go over your calorie restriction. My group of buddies was told to intake 60 grams of protein a day. The only other thing is you can become “backed up” even though you have not been eating a lot. So, miralax or the generic is what doctors recommend, just to follow the directions. Hope that helps! Good luck.

I was debating whether or not to sign up for one, but I asked if my sister wanted to do one with me and she and my brother in law both were interested, so I decided to go for it. I'm excited! I have been running more lately and I already pretty much do 5Ks every time I run, but I haven't done an actual "race" since I was 14. When I registered, the application asked if I had an inspiring story, so I said that I was once 400 pounds after battling a decade-long depression, but have now beat depression and lost 180 pounds.

It sounds like you've created a story about why you can't lose weight: "It's SO confusing! Might as well not even try! I'll end up a failure anyway!" Doctor's orders - like so much in life - is open to interpretation. Should you get 60, 80, or 100 grams of protein daily? The exact number doesn't matter. Get between 60-100 grams & you'll be good. Consider how else this story is impacting your life & really learn to flip the script to achieve a different outcome. You are not alone. Good luck!
