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:

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
