I was drinking Protein Shakes from the day I got home. My Dr just had me on liquid, not clear liquid, so I had shakes of all flavors during the 2 week liquid phase.

My main pureed food is based on cooked (boiled) chicken breast (you can you canned for easy prep). Then I add different spices and liquids to create different meals
chicken + sauteed onion + taco seasoning = Tex-Mex night
chicken + red pepper + soy sauce = Japanese night
can do with tandoori spices, liquid smoke and BBQ rub, etc.

At 65 lbs lost I had one person tell me I looked different, but they couldn't put their finger on how I looked different. At 90 lbs lost, I have had two coworkers ask me if I have lost weight. Started at 380, now at 289.

My favorite workout is lifting weights. It gets the best results for the amount of time invested. Compound movements (Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Overhead Press) will be most beneficial.

Just over 2 weeks post op, and I feel light headed often right when I stand up. I am getting plenty of fluids, and it is not my BP (checked). Still don't know why, but it is definitely related to the surgery.

Do you track your food intake? If not, consider tracking and then you will know if you need to continue with Protein Shakes. If you are getting enough Protein, and hitting your targets without shakes, then you won't need them.
Tracking is much better than guessing.
