Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Has anyone heard from Simply Southern?

Does anyone have a sample menu they would be willing to share? An example of a typical day for you that includes 60 grams of protein? I am really struggling with this right now and any help would be much appreciated. I am 5 weeks post op today.

The only way I get mine in is if I do 2 protein shakes a day with 20g+ of protein each. I always have a greek yogurt which is another 12 to 16 depending on the brand and then my other 2 meals are usually refried beans and salsa or canned chili with beans/turkey, sometimes beef. I also sometimes will have an egg with a sprinkle of cheese on it for a meal. I hope this helps some....but I have to still do the shakes to get it all in since my meals are so small.

My 10 day stall is finally over!! I broke down and had a shake yesterday along with some other protein filled meals, and woke up to a 3 lb loss!!! I've been trying to do this without shakes but it's apparent that I can't. I celebrated by walking a mile this morning!

Yay for you. I went back to the shakes also. At least one maybe two a day my protein daily is between 80/100. I'm hoping when I step on the scales Friday it will pay off I was in a big stall also. It's funny but it seemed that when I started exercising at around 4weeks post op I stopped losing hopefully I just needed a little kick.

Good job ladies. I also think I'm going back to shakes 2 times a day since I work out an hour or two a day. Our bodies needs the protein to lose the weight.

I WANT to use the shakes but I just can't choke them down! My body says nooooo.....

Hi all, I had surgery on dec.17 how is everyone doing? So glad I found this site.

Hi jannie and welcome. My surgery was nov 19th. I'm doing great. Lost 35lbs in four weeks and then went through a big stall out now getting back on track with protein shakes. Dr finally this Friday to weigh in. How are you doing?

Me too! I've tried so many different varieties with different flavored protein powders and I just find them all sickening. The only one I've found to be decent yet is chocolate protein powder mixed with a decaf skinny mocha from Starbucks.
