TuesPheynix how much Protein are you taking in? Are you eating too much salt? Are you still drinking your liquid Protein?

At my 1 month followup my Dr told me to stop taking the Liquid Protein and to only eat 41 grams of Protein. He has no NUT, I figured he knew what he was talking about so I listened to him. What a mistake that was. A few days after the 1 month visit I had lost 5 pounds and then was in a stall for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of not losing I found a Bariatric NUT and paid out of pocket for 2 hours of her time. She told me to up my protein to 80 to 100 grams, begin drinking the liquid protein again as eating only 2 oz of food at a meal I can't possibly reach 80 to 100 grams of protein. She also helped me to see that I had way too much sodium in my meals and I had to lower them to 1,500 or less. Finally today after just 3 days of doing what she said I have dropped 8 pounds. I am thrilled. Hopefully these suggestions will help you too.
