Now, I will tell you that I do a complete carb detox by eating all protein, and any carbs I get in from dairy such as greek yogurt or cheese. With that being said, I essentially go back to my losing stage intake which is no more than 30 grams of carbs per day. If I really want to detox carbs, I go all meat and eggs for a couple of days, and then bring in some dairy.
I never stalled in my losing stage, but when I gained weight after a holiday binge, I didn't go back to liquids, just eliminated carbs from my diet and I dropped those pounds uber fast.
I always just go back to the middle of the road, cut out all unneccesary carbiness and focus on proteins and movement.
I never stalled out either, I just kept on chugging along.
Its not thrilling or excited and you do not get revved up - but its not another "I will do this until...." and then return to a way of being that never was a long term answer before, but it instilled good habits and moderate behavior.
First off, if you feel like you re going to die from hunger on an all liquid diet post op,you are not drinking enough of what ever you are drinking. Increase the amount of shakes,liquids,etc,whatever you are drinking until you are not hungry.
secondly,check out WWW.5daypouchtest.com. it is a 'return to basics' and carb detox plan that many have used,including myself,with very good results. it is designed for RNY'ers but works for VSG'ers as well. They will want you to buy the book but click on the link that says "take me to the 5 day pouch test" and you can read/copy the menus and recipes for free plus the entire plan.

I tried going all liquids agian and lasted 5 hours
so I went back to eating. Eventually it evens out. I guess right now I am tired of feeling like I am dieting. So i am taking a mental break, but weighing daily to make sure i dont break anything else
