All Protein Shake Diet

I had my gastric sleeve February 2013. I was 300 pounds and lost 120 pounds. Well I had a baby August 2015 so I've gained 50 pounds back and I haven't been able to lose the weight again. I think part of my problem is I'm addicted to carbs again. So I was thinking about going back to the basics: I'm gonna do what I was told to do in the beginning of my surgery. I'm going to start off with an all protein shake diet. Has anyone done this? EAS makes a really good protein shake with 15 grams of protein in it and only 100 calories. I could get in a lot of protein with minimal calories. I really think I just need to withdrawal from carbs again. Has anyone tried this? I've got to do something. I just want to get back to 180 pounds again.

    Going back to the liquid diet should definitely help! I was Lap Band -> Sleeve revision, so I think your situation might be similar to what I went through during my pre-op diet. I dropped 20 lbs

  • I feel like my hunger is all in my head. To be honest, after I had my sleeve I don't get the "starving" feeling I used to have. I do get hungry but not as bad as it was. I'm gonna try to push myself.

I was Lap Band -> Sleeve revision, so I think your situation might be similar to what I went through during my pre-op diet. I dropped 20 lbs in those 2 weeks before my surgery.

Just be sure you're getting your Protein in, 70-100 g/day, and 64 oz of Water.

Think of it like a little "reset" - Best of luck!

I have been trying to do the same thing. Because I'm in an office full of eaters I've been having problems. But I think I'm going back to that as well. I stalled about 8 months after surgery (2/10/15) and between I stayed the same up until a couple weeks ago when I found out I gained 9 pounds! A reset is in order! But I need to eat fruit or veggies with it because I still get really hungry!

Good luck with your journey!

I feel like my hunger is all in my head. To be honest, after I had my sleeve I don't get the "starving" feeling I used to have. I do get hungry but not as bad as it was. I'm gonna try to push myself. I'm not going to eat fruit or vegetables because I'm going to do low carb. I've always found that I lose more weight that way. I've gotta do something! I may add in some of the 100 calorie greek yogurts though because they are high protein as well. I ordered a variety pack of protein drinks and protein juices from this website as well. I just want to try some. I wish you could just go to the store and buy some of the bariatric pal stuff.
