So, I was bragging for a time that I had lost 70 pds in a four month period. However, I haven't lost any weight for several weeks. It is making me depressed because I am four months post op and I want to lose another sixty pounds. Here are some factors that might be contributing to my weight loss plateau. Everyday I have to drink six glasses of milk for the fluid and protein. Water literally makes me gag and vomit. Also, according to my doctor's plan I should be eating five ozs. I am only at four ozs and that is tough still. Any suggestions?

So much milk? Thats whats killing you right there. Try a zero carb Protein Drink or a EAS protein drink with 42g of protein. Unsweetened cold Tea goes down pretty smooth for me instead of water.

4oz is plenty. I would never push to eat more. Keep it small thats what you wanted in the first place right? Reevaluate what you eat everyday. Use a calorie counter to measure your intake. Fitday also shows me my sodium "which plays as a factor for me" and other nutritional info can play a vital role in figuring out your body. Manipulate manipulate manipulate till you see a trend as to what works.

The milk is a killer right there. Try other kinds of protein drinks. Try the isopure clear drinks. 40 grams of protein in 20 ounces and its only like 160 calories and no carbs.

Try mixing 8 oz of milk with 8 oz of water and drink three of them instead of your usual six. Serve them real cold, and I bet you could keep them down. Good luck

I drink Premier Chocolate High Protein Shakes. It has 30 gms of protein and is delicious. Your doc is giving you a target in quanity. I don't know anyone who can actually get that much food in at 4 months. Don't push it, eat until you get full and I also have trouble getting in water so I buy the low calorie G2 Gatorade and dilute with H20. It helps a lot and is low calorie. You can do this and you are probably in a plateau which is totally normal for now, but it is time to switch it up.

I was drinking my Protein drinks mixed w lactose free milk but I was in a major stall so decided to mix it w Water instead, and unfortunately that didn't budge my stall still trying to find ways to lose weight.
