How Do You Continue To Lose After Liquids?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, banded 11/12 and down 30 pounds from pre op. I have done exactly what I am supposed to do, following the rules to a tee! But my concern is, how do I continue to lose when I switch from mushies to regular food? Might seem silly but I feel like that will be more food which will cause Me to gain. At this point, I still only eat about a quarter cup of food and have been walking... When I move to a cup, will I gain?

You will lose when you burn more calories than you take in no matter if it is liquids or solids. I ate 1000 calories each day during my losing stage and I lost no matter which form I took it in by. On liquids in the begininning it tends to come off more quickly so do not let that discourage you. But you should be able to lose an average of 2 lbs per week when moving to solids.

Congrats on being down 30 lbs!

I agree totally with Floridays. I have counted calories since the day I got from the hospital and I never eat more than a cup of food per meal. If you're restricting your calories and burning more than you consume, you will lose.

Considering we have lost a combined 384 lbs to date... No wonder we agree on most things. LOL

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
