I am 6 weeks post-op today and I have only lost 1.4 lbs in the last 2.5 weeks. UGH! Frustrating. Back in the 'before' days if I hit a plateau; I'd go eat a double cheeseburger - and boom..broke the plateau. But can't do that now. So..I guess my body thinks it's not getting enough and fighting to hold on to what it has; but not sure how to break it to get back in losing mode. I'll just have to wait it out I guess by continuing to drink/eat Protein, etc. Any suggestions?

At 6 weeks I wouldn't worry! I lost 30 lb before surgery and then 9 days after surgery had post op internal bleeding. They gave me 28lb of Fluid and I walked out my second stint more than what I weighed before surgery and bloated. My metabolism kicked in around 2-3 months and that's when I lost the most.

      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...

        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.
