How much protein do I need a day from a liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

I'm at a stall for loosing weight on my 6 month diet. So I was going to do a liquid diet for the next 2 wks to see if it would help.

You still should get between 60g and 80g of Protein I'm thinking. I've decided to go back to liquid diet to IF I ever stall again. I hope it would be ok.

Good luck.

Try and get 60-80g. I never make that but that is the goal. Also, you might not need to go on a liquid diet. Our bodies naturally stall for many reasons, so just understand that stalls are a part of the process.

Cheri wrote a really good post a while back about how she stalled up to 9 weeks more than once during her journey. It might be worth the read.

I'm just frustrated I was at 261 last week and now I'm back at 265!!! I'm just frustrated and I'm doing really good on logging every little thing I eat and drink on my fitness pal and I'm working out everyday. Im doing 1000-1200 calories everyday

Weight loss plateus are really, really normal! Everyone experiences them. It doesn't make them less frustrating, for sure.

For me, hormones can add a layer to the fluctuations in my weight. When I'm ovulating and then the week before my period are times I just know I'm not losing. I started keeping an eye on my sodium intake, as that can be a factor, too.

Butterthebean has a great link in his signature that talks about plateaus post-op.

Since you're still pre-op, here is the link to an interesting article I read recently:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
