I am 7 weeks post-op, have all of a sudden been doing well with tolerating foods, therefore have increased my variety. Still eating very little, but not losing...what's going on?

Let me clarify, no loss this week.

Entirely normal I think. Keep trying to get in 4 oz of Protein from something that had a mother three times a day. Drink at least 64 oz of Water a day and try walking 60 minutes a day even if you have to spread the walking into 20 minute segments three times a day. Eventually your body will adjust and you will start losing again.

I am 8 weeks out and I still can't have dairy so no yogurt, sugar free pudding, limited cheese, and other dairy products like sour cream, cream, milk, etc.

Try not to snack between meals. Take your meals at a regular schedule about 4-5 hours apart.

I am eating 1/2 C cooked or raw vegetables at one meal and 1/2 C berries or other fruit (no bananas) at one other meal.

@@Yrkybarry just had first visit with doctor post-op on Tuesday and he said try to eat only two meals and if I am hungry (not thirsty - drink first to see if you are truly hungry) I could eat fruit or vegetables as much as I wanted. I finished the rest of my day doing that and yesterday and the scale moved today. I rounded up, my scale can reflect 239.5, so tomorrow if I weigh 239 I will officially be in the 230s!!!!

      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...

      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.
