The only stage I remember well is the liquids. Lol nothing much to it. Just liquids lol.

For me it was 2 weeks Clear Liquids, 2 weeks full liquids (protein shakes, milk, yogurt and clear liquids) and finally 2 weeks pureed foods.

You really don't need to go back that far. Basically the rules are:

to eat Proteins first (lean meats, seafood, cheese, nuts, legumes, eggs, dairy, etc.) I don't know how far out you are, but at one year I can eat 4 oz. of dense Protein when I eat very slowly. Yogurt obviously goes down easier. Protein should be between 70-90 grams a day.

Fills the edges with vegetables (not starchy) and low glycemic fruits. pineapple, berries and cantaloupe is good.

Finally if any room, eta some healthy carbs like quinoa or whole grain things. I keep my carbs under 25% of my total intake. It comes out to something like 45 grams a day. This is what worked for me:

Protein: 50%

Carbs: 25%

Fat 25%

Use My Fitness Pal or some other program and document everything you eat. Also drink your Water (72 oz. a day) and take your Vitamins.

Agree with Catracks, you don't need to go back all the way to the beginning. Be sure you are getting your Water for sure. That helps a lot. You could also try Diva's bootcamp. I think many people have had luck breaking stalls and carb addictions with it.

By using LilMissDiva's Basic Bootcamp, it helped with the sugar cravings and within 2 days I would drop a lb. It may have been Water retention, but I'll take it. Have a great day!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
