Question:
Will a liquid diet help break a plateau?

I am 6 months post-op from VBG. I have been on a horrible plateau for weeks. Will going back to your newly post-op liquid diet for a few days help break a plateau? I am so frustrated!!! I have lost 55 pounds and feel like I should be so much further along. Any suggestions are welcomed. Happy New Year to all!!!    — Keri N. (posted on January 4, 2002)

Kerri - I am 4 months postop RNY and had my first plateau and kick started my weight loss by going back on my clear liquid stage for about a week and within 2 weeks, was down 10 lbs....That seemed to work for me.

This is just a thought because I'm not completely familiar with the VBG. Perhaps an increase in protein. If you don't have to take supplements for protein, maybe you could just increase it in the foods you already eat. Good Luck breaking that plateau. I know it is really annoying!
