I feel like I'm in the same boat, but I haven't had the best discipline post-op. One thing I've been doing is tracking measurements in addition to weight, and sometimes that is even more encouraging. It seems like the the weeks where I lose inches are not the same weeks where I see a larger weight loss.

I was so sick of Protein drinks after the first two weeks, that I haven't had one since. I would drink two or three a day before the surgery with no problem, but afterwards it eventually got to the point where I just couldn't do it anymore. My favorite thing became the Nutriwise broth soups. The chicken was meh, but the beef broth was my favorite (especially with a small shot of sriracha). The tomato one was good, too. They all had 15g of protein in an 8oz serving - 70 calories instead of the 160-220 in the protein drinks. I found that I could manage 8oz of broth at a single meal.
