How much protein do I need a day from a liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

I'm at a stall for loosing weight on my 6 month diet. So I was going to do a liquid diet for the next 2 wks to see if it would help.

You still should get between 60g and 80g of Protein I'm thinking. I've decided to go back to liquid diet to IF I ever stall again. I hope it would be ok.

Good luck.

Try and get 60-80g. I never make that but that is the goal. Also, you might not need to go on a liquid diet. Our bodies naturally stall for many reasons, so just understand that stalls are a part of the process.

Cheri wrote a really good post a while back about how she stalled up to 9 weeks more than once during her journey. It might be worth the read.

I'm just frustrated I was at 261 last week and now I'm back at 265!!! I'm just frustrated and I'm doing really good on logging every little thing I eat and drink on my fitness pal and I'm working out everyday. Im doing 1000-1200 calories everyday

Weight loss plateus are really, really normal! Everyone experiences them. It doesn't make them less frustrating, for sure.

For me, hormones can add a layer to the fluctuations in my weight. When I'm ovulating and then the week before my period are times I just know I'm not losing. I started keeping an eye on my sodium intake, as that can be a factor, too.

Butterthebean has a great link in his signature that talks about plateaus post-op.

Since you're still pre-op, here is the link to an interesting article I read recently:

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
