Hi I am just about 4 months out and I feel like I am starting to eat too much. My usual day consists of....

Protein Shake for Breakfast

1/2 Protein Bar for snack

4oz lean meat for lunch

couple slices of apple about an hour after lunch

Greek Yogurt for snack

3 to 4oz lean meat for dinner and a couple bits of veggies for dinner

1/2 Protein bar for snack

At 4 months, my dietitians wanted me to be eating more real food. I was told 3 meals of real food, and no Snacks. If I hadn't met my Protein goal, then it was allowed 1 shake per day as a snack.< /p>

They explained that at that point, it's critical to be strict because that was when people would stop following the basic rules and would not lose due to snacking all the time. So, I had to cut out all Snacks and completely change the way I ate. I'm so glad I did too...because it taught me that I need to always be on guard for sneaky old habits that try to immerse at any time.

I am now 7 months post op on Tuesday, down 101 pounds, with 4 to go to meet surgeons goal and 24 for my own goal.

Good luck n he rest of your journey. It's a bumpy ride.

I was advised no more than 2 healthy Snacks per day. More snacking will lead to over eating.

      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...

        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.
