I am a slow loser too:( I lost 17 lbs on the liver reduction diet for 2 weeks' date=' but since then only 13 in 3 weeks:([/quote']

I lost only 6 lbs :-( during my 10 day liquid diet before. I think my body definitely went into starvation mode. I think I average 1lb loss in 2 days. I guess I'm happy with it. I get the Protein in everyday (84g today). Trying to finish up the Water. The water has been slow going lately.

I had my post op visit today- met with dietician, nurse then the surgeon. Lotsa info. I am 3 weeks out and down 20 pounds. They told me to wean off the Protein Shakes to 1 per day and increase Water. I am to eat 2 ounces of Protein with each meal and have 2 small Snacks. They said to make sure always eat protein first then veggies. I am still on soft diet until 6 weeks ( able to mush with a fork). The doc said to ramp up exercise. He said the major weight loss will be the first 6 months and then will wain toward the one year mark. I wanted to share that I did my protein shakes with warm water, kind of like cocoa. Thanks for the tips on the Lose It App. I was told today that the most successful losers journal.

Wow, wondering what is going on with you. Is it dehydration? Hope you feel better

[myjoshcait 40]

How many times can you get these strictures?

The Protein is so hard. The shakes are so gross. I am sipping crystal light all day. I just need more protein. I hope it works. No one said this was going to be easy...lol
