Back to Shakes?

[AmandaWho 158]

Has anyone gone back to shakes for a week jus to 'shake' things up on the scale? I was thinking about doing this for 2 meals and having one regular meal at lunch time just to shock my body back into moving. I have a doctors checkup tomorrow so I will discuss it with them but I'm curious if anyone else did this and if it worked?

Thanks in advance!

I'm 5 mo. Post op and am 10lbs from my GW and have hit a stall.... I was considering going back to the Protein Drinks to see what happens! Glad you posted this question

I regularly have at least one shake meal a day. When I'm feeling like I'm craving the wrong stuff I think 2 would get me back in track.

My surgeon told me this was fine. When your at a stall or gaining instead of losing weight then you do the three shakes a day for two weeks, puréed foods afterwards then regular food. Same diet as post op. Hope this helps. It helps me get back on track every time

I couldn't imagine doing it for two weeks. I wonder if it will be easier with the tool of less hunger?

@jess9395 How many shakes a day do you do? How many calories? I think I need a reboot. I am 15 months out now. How long do you do it for?

[kozyjozie 108]

Hi. I do three shakes a day. This replaces my meals. I do that for two weeks. Then go to purée stage and regular food afterwards. It's the "post-op diet". Do you have the pamphlet from when you did the surgery? My surgeon told me this will shrink my stomach again and start anew. I have lost 7 pounds somince august 25. I also make sure to get my Water in and I use the eas carb control shakes. 100 calories each. 0g sugar. 17g of Protein. I get them in the case load at sams club. I've also seen them in Walmart and shoprite. Hope this helps.

@kozyjozie so that's like 300 calories a day?

[heycrystal2052 430]

If I stall, I'll go back to shakes and liquids.

[kozyjozie 108]

Yes. Just for the two weeks. My nutritionist doesn't like the idea but I listen to my surgeon. I sacrifice for the two weeks.
