I'm going to try one of these. I've never done it, but I've been stuck 20 pounds above my goal for over a year, and Memorial Day is my birthday weekend, so I think a good gift to myself would be to push myself to finally get rid of these last twenty pounds.

Question for those who have tried this: Have you found it beneficial to do a "reset" liquid diet before beginning like the one suggested below?

Go back to basics. Do a mini preop/liquid/puree/soft food over the next week or two. This will not only help you clean all the crap out of your system, it will stop your cravings, maybe tighten up your restriction a bit, and give you a mental reset back to when this journey began. Find pictures of yourself preop. Do you want to go there again? What motivated you to have surgery in the first place? Find that old motivation

And the best way to accomplish these things and get your head back in the game is to get help. You had a surgeon "fix" your stomach, now you need a mental health professional to help you "fix" your head. The latter is a much harder task than the former, and most people can't do it on their own.

Absolutely it has helped me!! I went back and did a 2-week liquid Protein diet and it jump started my weight loss again by helping me lose 14 pounds in 2 weeks. But I was also walking 10-15 miles each day as well.
