FIrst day on protein shakes...so far so good!

[imawhodat 3]

Well a few days ago I was knee deep in a big ole pity party...regretting I had it done. Then I went to the hospital and got IV fluids and feel like a new woman! Today I was given the go ahead to do Protein Shakes and so far I've gotten in 3oz in about an hour. Is this about right for the first time doing shakes? I used vanilla Chike with a tiny drop of almond extract and mixed with water...it tastes like wedding cake...LOVE IT. I'm going to try to get the rest in as the day goes on. How much were you able to get in at one sitting when you first started drinking them?

Thanks so much

I have done the same thing will all my liquids since the first few days- set my alarm and drink 2 ounces, then set my phone alarm again (15 minutes at first).

Now I can drink a lot more and I set it to 8 minutes but can get all my Water and all my Protein in this way!

Good luck and full speed ahead! I love the strawberry chike with banana and strawberries added. (after you are allowed those).

Congrats, glad you are doing better and now all I am thinking of is how good that wedding cake shake must taste!!!

When i was first sent home, I was to drink 1oz every 15minutes for the first week. Then 2oz every 15 minutes and work my way up to 40oz a day in week 3.

I now can drink like a fish at 7 weeks out! I always could drink more than I was supposed to. Never had any issue with liquids. They don't fill me up or give me restriction. I did, in the begining, feel a tightness in my chest if I drank too fast, but it would go away quickly.

Just sip, sip, sip. Maybe a sip a minute and you will have that shake down in no time. If it is too fast for you, you will feel it.
