Abt 15 days post op I ended up having to move. Thee move broke me and I haven't had protein shakes since oct 8. Since I ran out of protein shakes, I have put back on 5 lbs and don't know what to do other than wait til payday. I'm eating as much protein as possible, and using the snacks but I'm not getting 80 grams. I'm only getting 40-60 max. I'm scared of going bavk to the Dr and only have lost 3 lbs in a month! What can I do to start losing weight again????

home make chicken broth goes a long way. Protient is good health and you ar getting enough for that now u need to stop the quick foods and track everything you eat . Drink more Water that flushes it out. Good luck this is a hard time for you but you can do it withut gaining just maintaining is a job well done.

I drank a total of 2 my entire journey and I'm 2.5 years post op. I ate a lot of cottage cheese and greek yogurt in the early stages.

Protein shakes have nothing to do with losing weight. Burning more calories than you are consuming does.

You can lose weight without the shakes. I would suggest counting calories and concentrating on making good food choices.

Protein shakes aren't magic, they're calories just like any other food. Don't worry about trying to afford them if it's too hard right now, stick to cheaper sources of protein.

FWIW, I have never drunk them, I lost 120% of my excess weight and have kept it off for five years.

I dont use the Protein shakes. I discovered that no fat greek yogurt and no fat cottage cheese have more protein than my shakes did.

So I make a smoothie with cocoa, honey flavoured greek yogurt and skim milk. Very filling.

As all the others have already said you don't need protein shakes to lose weight. In fact for many people all they do is add extra easy to consume calories that are not necessary. Eat fewer calories than you expend and you will lose weight.

Can you give me the measurements on the smoothie you make?
