You need to eat more. Your body is in starvation mode and hanging on to whatever you are eating. And are you seriously asking if you should take diet pills? ?? Because you should know what the answer to that is.

Even if you don't have much of an appetite drink. Drink Water to fill you up. Your appetite will return. You sound like your in your first stall. Increase your water intake. Try walking just change things up.

Do not take diet pills........ This is part of the process, your body is adjusting in other ways. Perhaps sit back, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that this will take a little time. It will move again. Remember to drink a lot of Water to cleanse and hydrate your body. I know at this point it's difficult to eat a much of anything, but focus on getting your Protein in. Drink Protein Shakes to help with dropping more weight. :)

I'm confused. You take a few bites then can't eat anymore. What do you think the diet pills will do? I'm not trying to sound snotty (please don't take it that way) but usually diet pills are used for curbing appetite. Try increasing exercise and make sure you're getting in all your Protein and Water. It's just going to take time. Try not to get discouraged and please do not take diet pills!

stalls are normal! 22 pounds in 5 weeks is fantastic. Make sure you get your 65 grams of Protein and enough water... that's it! The weight will come off. Please NO DIET PILLS!!!!!

      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.
