There's a program that many postops I know have done to help kick start their weight loss.

I've done it during my initial weight loss phase to help get off a plateau. It's a 3 day liquid protein diet that is like starting all over again. Here's a description.

________________________________________________________
3 Day Liquid Diet Program
The best way to use this diet is to purge your system for 3 days by staying on a liquid diet and then gradually add food back to into your diet.
Slowly increase your calorie intake to 1300 calories. The 3 day liquid diet consist of drinking a nutritious protein shake 4 times per day along with plenty of water and a vitamin supplement. The total calorie per day on this diet is around 800 to 900 calories.

After 3 days, remain on liquid protein shakes but use them for between meal snacks. You can even use the protein drink for a breakfast replacement meal. Your lunch and dinner will consist of 1 baked chicken breast or fish and 2 non-starch vegetables.

After 2 weeks, you can add in a starch vegetable for lunch and dinner. So the program goes as follows:

Day 1 to 3
Meal 1  … Protein shake Meal 2 …. Protein shake Meal 3 …. Protein shake Meal 4 …. Protein shake Drink eight – 8 ounces of water and take a multiple vitamin.   Day 4 through Week 2: Breakfast …  Protein shake with fruit Mid morning …. Protein shake Lunch …. Chicken breast with 2 non-starch veggies (try green beans and broccoli) Mid afternoon …. Protein shake Dinner ….  Same as lunch.               Week 3 – Week 6 Breakfast …  Protein shake with fruit Mid morning …. Protein shake Lunch …. Chicken breast with leafy vegetable and sweet potato or yam or brown rice  Mid afternoon …. Protein shake Dinner ….  Same as lunch.
