Curious if anyone else is doing Ideal Protein after weight loss surgery? I had stomach stapling 23 years ago and lost a lot. But, now that I started menopause the weight started creeping back on slowly so I am trying to stop it before it gets out of control with Ideal Protein.

@variegated are you able to get in 4-6 protein and 2 cups of veggies? That is what I am struggling with. Even though it’s been 23 years my stomach is still smaller than normal persons.

@demmer I try really hard I usually split the protein for lunch and dinner and the veggie I eat what I can! I find the veggie soups easier to eat

I had stomach stapling about the same time as you! Crazy I still struggle but this works for me.

@impetus can you eat the amounts of protein and veggies in one sitting that they want. My stomach is still smallish so I can’t get everything in.

@impetus spread it out. I have trouble eating all that and I haven’t had surgery. So I’ll eat like two hard boiled eggs(3 protein) wait an hour then have salad and a packet. I have a chocolate drink with my eggs. Then dinner is cooked veggies and a packet. I’ll eat chicken sausage (breakfast) if I’m hungry around 8ish.
