it lasted me 2 weeks. I was also late for my time of the month (thinking hormonal changes) by the time it was over I had lost another 5 lbs. glad that was over with. I am sure that I will have more stalls along the way.

I just hit week three and am in the same situation. I was wondering about this. Good question.

My first stall came after the first week. It lasted 3 weeks, but finally broke. The funny thing is that everyone thought I was still losing because even though the scale wasn't moving my body composition was. My clothes were fitting ALOT better, and I even moved down in sizes, while the scale was not budging.

Just hang in there and know that you are doing the right thing with your diet and eventually it will start dropping again. Keep track of other indications of progress like how your clothes fit, or how much space you have in places you couldn't fit before. One other thing, it was great stepping on the scale that first week and seeing 3-4 lbs losses on a daily basis. When that stall hit, I drove myself crazy with the lack of movement. I now swear to only step on the scale every few days, or once a week.

Otherwise I would go nuts.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
