Did your surgeon give you a diet to follow to lose the weight before surgery? Are you working with a therapist? It is not easy to lose weight and you need all the help and support you can get.
Soup and protein shakes would not be a good plan for me, but if that is what your surgeon recommends, then follow their directions.

Genpro unflavored has been awesome. It's a but expensive but I know it's helping I feel better but then again I'm taking all my vitamins also.
I'm glad I had my bag surgery though I'm approaching week 3 post op I have not list much but I know the weight will leave. I have s en some face shrinkage though. I am trusting the process.
I use the fatsecret app and then link in steps and whatever. The free version does a lot.
What are you using to food track? I used to use MyFitnessPal (aka MFP) and now use WW since losing regain on that program. I thought MFP was great (and still use it for daily weight logging) - I just used the free version.

I had a surgery date scheduled in June, and it was cancelled due to me gaining 20 pounds instead of losing 20 pounds. I am so disappointed in myself. After the surgery was cancelled, I managed to lose 14 pounds in a period of 4 weeks, but I seem to have gained it back now too... I'm feeling very bummed. I started again yesterday with replacing meals with protein shakes and soup as well as implementing a 30 minute dance party. Please send positive vibes my way; I need them. If anyone can be my support system or guide please reach out! I would like to lose 30 pounds in a 6 weeks. Fingers crossed.
Find the help link at the bottom of the page and then the form for further help to let the admins know that there is a problem with the food tracker.

Sorry but the last thing I would advise you to do for a regain is to use protein powder.
It is fine to use protein powder after surgery when you cannot eat real food, but using it when you can eat real food is just making it easy for the body to take in more calories than you need.
The way to treat a regain is by reducing calories. Stick to dense protein that will keep you full.
