It will go down again! Probably tomorrow or the next day!

Here's my thought process- weight FLUCTUATES daily, and throughout the day. I only get on the scale VERY occasionally because of that. Instead, I'm watching my BMI and body fat percentage. My trainer at he gym as well as my doc and NUT all measure it, too. What have I seen?

Tomorrow I'm 7 weeks post op. My BMI has dropped from 48 to 37! Now THOSE are numbers I can embrace!!!!

Do any of your veterans know if there is any validity to the stalling when on mushy food phase?

Well, if your mushy phase is about three weeks post-op then it is right on schedule. The first stall isn't related to the food phase/texture but on your bodies need to replenish the glycogen in your liver, among other things.

Wow... It's amazing what our bodies go through. Understanding the process makes it much easier to get why certain things are going on. Really appreciate it Inner Surfer Girl.

Try weighing yourself once a month. Then it won't be so disappointing when you don't lose much some weeks.

      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...

        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.
