Betsy16049 10 Posted February 4, 2013 I'm one week post op... It takes me about 10min to drink a 10oz Protein Shake I feel full after but not so full that I'm stuffed (I guess that's how I got here, I always ate till the STUFFED feeling lol) am I drinking too fast or is this fine? 1 hely88 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaness2012 609 Posted February 4, 2013 Yes. My doc said I really shouldn't take more than 5 or 10 mins to drink the shake. Happy drinking. 1 Betsy16049 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kll724 3,055 Posted February 4, 2013 Just don't try gulping it down, as it might go down slowly 1 Betsy16049 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted February 4, 2013 I usually take about 15 minutes, but I go slow intentionally to keep from rushing the rest of my meals. I use the slow speed for liquid or solid. 1 Betsy16049 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1aman 944 Posted February 4, 2013 I use a Protein Shake to take my meds in the morning so I guess I drink it pretty slowly. But if I have one for a snack I slam it down because it is about the only thing I can do that with. 1 Betsy16049 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
