Increased water+protein= 11pound this week!

[AnewTy 1]

I'm 7 months out and I've lost 70lbs I have another 40lbs to reach. I can't seem to get under 200lbs. I'm going to try to increase my Water intake I'm just getting in 64ozs and 60grams of Protein. I'm thinking I'm going to have to go back to a Protein Drink a day.

I'm almost 4 weeks out and down 18.6 pounds (8.9 PreOp and 9.7 post op). I have been at a stall for about 10 days. I am going to up my Water and Protein and see if it helps too!!!

Thanks @@shellbell1007 for the info I'm going to check it out today. I was going to order the strawberry sorbet from Unjury but I will try the unflavored and put it in my yogurt. I wonder if it has lactose in it.

@@Jerziegirl Congrats!!! I lost 60lbs in the first 4months then hit a stall. When I talked to my surgeon and NUT they said you have to trick the body with switching up work out routine and intake. I'm going to go to just fluids for a week and see if that will jumpstart my weight loss. Keep up the good work

I have had a rough time making the numbers I wanted after surgery. During the all liquids phase I did excellent with my weightloss but it slowed drasticly after I started foods again. I had trouble making it to 64 ounces of Water and meeting the protien recomendations. a little overa week ago I was desperate when I gained 4 lbs in my fourth month so I decided to consume 120+ ounces of water and go over my daily recomended Protein requirments. I lost 11lbs this week!!! I was really affraid I wouldn't lose any more weight but my hope is renewed =) Just wanted to share and encourage anyone who isn't drinking enough water or getting enough protein!

Thank you so much for sharing that info. I increased my shakes by one more daily since reading your post and thank God and you, the numbers are falling! Good luck to you!

Thanks for sharing. I am almost a year out and have been gaining. I plan to increase my Water and Protein to see if this will push me forward.

Hi, you can also google the 5 day pouch test. I have heard great reviews about this and just started it today. I am currently 18 months out and just need to switch things up a bit. Hope this helps and good luck.

Really good info thank you

I perfer to get my Protein from food because I feel hungry every couple hours. I am totally bummed my hunger hasn't gone away like many others that have had this surgery. I do have a shake almost every morning when im working and dont have time to make Breakfast. If I have a lower protien day I add another shake before bed. I intake 90 to 120 grams of protein daily.

A nurse went through the surgery with me. She said her hunger maneuver changed. So she did some research, hunger, thirst and acid can all be triggered by hunger. She double her anti acid and hunger went away.

I am 3 days post surgery and I am starving. I hate chicken and beef broth. Please note that I am during the Clear Liquids now. I thought the hunger pains would go away? Also, I've gained weight.
