Hi Heidi, I was looking over some older posts and I see no one gave you the Plateau buster Diet. Here it is. I'm having the same issues at 4 years post-op and starting this asap. Keep me posted on how your doing. You may not even need this anymore but I wanted you to have it. Hope you have a good weekend. Take care.   Julie Schneider  Open RNY 8/2004   Here is the Plateau Buster Diet:  Do this for 10 days to break plateau  1) DON’T GIVE UP    2) Drink 2 quarts (64 oz) of water a day 3) You must have 45 grams of protein supplement and all your vitamin & mineral supplements each day.   4) You may consume up to 3 oz. of the following high-protein foods, 5 times a day:  • beef • pork • chicken • turkey  • lamb • fish • eggs • low-fat cheese • cottage cheese • plain yogurt or artificially sweetened • peanut butter • beans/legumes      You may also have:  • sugar free Popsicles • tea or coffee (BUT, Keep in mind Coffee & tea stimulates release of insulin with a temporary lift in energy followed by hunger, fatigue & slower weight loss.) • sugar free sodas • sugar free Jell-O • broths and bullions • Crystal Lite drinks    5) IF IT IS NOT ON THE LIST YOU CANNOT HAVE IT FOR 10 DAYS   6)   Keep a food diary and get at least 30 minutes of exercise daily.    GOOD LUCK!!!
