Hey y'all!!! I had my surgery 7/23/13, so a little over 2 1/2 months and I am down 51 lbs. I feel great! But....I'm stuck in my 2nd stall! My first one lasted 3 longggggg weeks! I tracked my food and I am only getting in 500-600 calories a day. I can't get in anymore because I'm not hungry or if I eat another bite I get nauseated and throw up :( any advice on what I should do to over come this stall? I drink A LOT of Water, about 100 oz a day so I know I don't have to up my Fluid intake. Help!

It sounds like you have no trouble with fluids, what about adding in a Protein Shake or two throughout your day? I would think that would be an easier way to get some more calories (and Protein too) into your day rather than trying to force feed yourself more food.< /p>

It is normal to have stalls throughout this weight loss period. Your body is adjusting in inches. You have done really great losing. Don't worry about it at this point. Take measurements of your body and Celebrate the inches loss.....I prefer to lose inches over lbs anyways.....:P

What kind of Protein Shake? My stomach is very sensitive :( I tried making my own with almond milk and I got dumping lol. But I do like Isopure rtd 0 carb drinks..its 40 grams of protein.

Whatever kind of Protein shake you were drinking in your first few weeks post-op, if you tolerated them well, would be a good one to try first. Otherwise there are many, many kinds available on the market both, pre-made and powders to mix your own. You'd just have to try some different ones until you find something you can tolerate. Isopure is a good idea too, would probably be about the same amount of calories as the average shake and of course lots of Protein.< /p>

That all being said, as time passes for you and your stomach relaxes a bit and allows you to take in more food, it is a good idea to try to get as many of your daily calories from whole foods rather than liquids.

If you haven't tried Premier Protein, then you really should.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
