Ok. So you are a whole 2 weeks out of surgery. You aren't properly healed up yet. You still haven't started real foods yet. I'm sure you haven't been cleared for extensive exercising yet either. Just relax and don't worry about any stall.

Are you hitting your Protein requirements yet?
Are you hitting your Water requirements yet?
Are you exercising at all yet?

Our bodies require water to process and reduce fat stores. So without enough water, the process either doesn't happen or isn't efficient enough to matter.

What you need to worry about in the first month, is that A ) you don't have any pain or other complications. B ) you are taking the time to rest and heal. C ) that you are working to, or getting your protein and water minimums D ) you are walking or doing other approved exercises, working up to more each day.

Everything else can wait. If you are hitting your marks, and exercising. Then just step back and let the process happen.

You got this!

You have to look at the long game. Instead of thinking, I haven't lost any weight in a week, think, I lost 13 lbs in 2 weeks.

Get used to stalls. They are frustrating but they are inevitable. Weight loss is non linear.

Hate to be harsh, but she's right. It sucks hard core, but they are inevitable.

I am meeting all my requirements. I'm not upset at all. I'm really not. Actually I am happy with my 13 just a little surprised I didn't drop at least a pound or two. I've read enough on hear to know there will be stalls and know my surgery is fresh.

I would like to know though how many times a day I am suppose to be eating soft food which my dr approved for us. If I ate when hungry I'd never eat.

When I was on purred stage, I was eating 4-5x per day. Approx 1/4-1/3 of a cup.

      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.
