From what I've heard, it's difficult to lose weight if you don't get your Protein in. Most doctors recommend at least 60g per day. My doctor actually wants me to get in 80g per day. I think it's cause I'm larger than most. It's not super easy to do, BUT if I eat high protein foods and I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day, I get it every time.
Water is SUPER important. I know that you know this. It can be dangerous for you if you don't get enough water in per day. You'll be at risk of dehydration. Drink that water. You can totally do it!

Post op is won or lost in the mental game.
There are so many options other than Protein Shake if you can't do that and dont eat eat tuna salad if you dont like it but dont use those 2 things to justify just having whatever you want.
If you want success in this then follow your doctors program.
ask for a referral to a Bariatric trained counselor for help with the emotional eating urges. GS will not fix the emotions that is on you to work thru.

Everyone has a different pace of weight loss. Some go slow and steady for years others drop like a stone right out the gate. Your metabolic health will decide this for you.
1. get the Water in over all else -
2. work on the Protein as a goal and work up to it.
3. Post op is a Major Mental Game. You will win or lose in your head. This a multi year process and you have barely scratched the surface.

I was sleeved on 4/10 also. I went into surgery weighing 215 at my 2week post op apt i was 199 and as of this morning i am 196. This week has been slow but that's ok, it's the 3rd week And I've heard it happens around this time. I haven't cheated at all i honestly don't dare to eat anything that's not on my list of soft/puree foods. Have i had cravings for the not so good things....absolutely but I'm more afraid of not succeeding that i ingnore those cravings. I've been drinking Water all day and have 3 cups of fairlife fat free milk throughout the day (1c has 13g of protien) and that's pretty much it. I have no interest in drinking anything Crystal light related right now lol. I don't do the shakes at all anymore they make me sick. I'd love to just have a glass of Apple juice lol. Chin up, look at the end goal, this to shall pass!
