Liquid Diet 7 months post op

[lorimayes 4]

Has anyone had any luck jump starting weight loss back with doing the liquid diet 7 months in? If so, how many average grams of Protein did you get in daily?

I'm not sure why you would need to put yourself through a liquid diet at this stage of the game. What has caused your stall in weight loss? How many calories are you taking in per day? Carbs? Protein? Water? What do you do for exercise? I would say that figuring out the source of the stall (or gain) and dealing with it is preferable to existing on liquids for an extended period of time.

I was 5 months out ( April 2017 ) and did 2 Day liquid diet. I lost 4 pounds in those two days and now I was told by a friend that I should only eat 60-80 grams of Protein and not 80-100grams. I'm at 6 months this month May and see my doctor in a week I've lost 95 pounds and I haven't lost anything so far so I don't know what to do. I workout 5 days a week

I've read on the boards (not my experience) that when you work out a lot & don't consume enough Protein & calories, your body stalls because it's like being in "starvation mode".

No yo yo dieting; instead, eat a healthy diet with real food, not processed. Protein first then vegetables.

So OP - where are you? You didn't answer the questions for the info you seek.

@lorimayes How long has your weight loss been stalled? Have you gained weight? Why do you feel you need this reset? In my opinion (and I am not a professional, please contact your surgeon's office and dietitian for your official recommendation) a liquid diet this far out will not do much. You may drop a few pounds in the few days but you need to work on your lifelong lifestyle. Track everything you eat and the activity you do. If you keep to your recommended calorie goal and up your activity the pounds and inches will come off.
