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

[Sydney Lynn Pinckley 20]

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:
