Are you pre or post-op? Either way, the best way to kick the carb habit is to go back to putting Protein first. You might even want to return to just a liquid diet of Protein Shakes for a few days.

I too was consuming too many calories. So, I did the 5 day pouch test and am back on track and down 5 lbs. I really works and lets you know that your tool is still functioning. Might want to give it a try.

I've been eating so much / frequently, a lot of carbs .. How do I stop

How far post-op are you?

Are you tracking, weighing, and measuring your food?

Are you planning your meals and Snacks?

Are you not bringing high-carb and starchy foods into the house?

Have you talked to your NUT about your difficulties?

Try going back to basics.

Follow your program.

Focus on eating Protein first and avoiding starches and added sugars.

Eat slowly, take small bites, and chew thoroughly.

Get in ALL of your Protein and AT LEAST 64 oz of Fluid or more a day.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as required.

Exercise.

It's the reset plan. If you google the 5 day pouch test you will see. I actually order the book from Amazon and it has some recipes that Im going to try too, but get the book. It;s only $5.00 on Amazon.

      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.
