"Back on Track" protein diet

You know how we are supposed to go back to liquids for 3 days to get back on track? Can I have coffee and protein shakes - or seriously just brothe and jello? What about veggies like cucumbers that are like crunchy water? I work out daily and I work doubles every day - I dont think broth will cut it for me!!!

To Break the Plateau Yes. If you increase that then your eating more thus defeating the plan.   This was given to me at the beginning of my WLS Journey 5 years ago. Once you complete this plan then it's suggested to increase on just Proteins to at least 75 grams to 127 grams.

Thank you!

Hi, how are you doing with your Realize Band?  I had a revision (RNY 2003) to the Realize Band just this Monday (7/20/09) so far so good.  Just all clear liquids this week and next.  I feel really good.  Hope this continues and watch the weight drop off.....also walking in circles around my living room :) five times a day!
