suepeeps 230 Posted September 18, 2012 I am just under 2 weeks post op. I still just drink 1/2 of a shake at a time. I don't want to feel too full. I have not had any problems since surgery and I don't want to have any How long until you drank a whole shake? ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PdxMan 4,292 Posted September 18, 2012 I think it was about 3 to 4 weeks out. Just make sure you get your liquids in. It will come in time. 2 Sheree and Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted September 18, 2012 There's no hurry! You will get there in no time at all. I really enjoyed drinking small amounts of my Protein Drink at first. It was around the 4th week that I could drink the majority of it. 1 Sheree reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suepeeps 230 Posted September 18, 2012 thanks! I have no problem with Water or tea. I am getting plenty of liquids in. So happy that is easy for me! I think that has helped a lot for why I feel so good!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheree 10 Posted September 18, 2012 that is just what my Dr. told me. THE MOST important thing the 1st month is getting in your liquids. Then you will concentrate on liquids AND Protein. It made me feel much better. You may want to just mix 1/2 of your shake at a time because I have read the protein only stays stable for up to an hour.

bigsleeve56 266 Posted September 18, 2012 If the one hour was true how do they make ready to drink Protein Shakes. I use powder and mix full serving in 4 oz of Water to make sure i get all I need in one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccermomx2 111 Posted September 18, 2012 At the beginning it used to take me 90 minutes to drink a premade shake. I can now drink a whole one in about 15-20min at 9 weeks out. It may not seem like it now but the time will fly by...the first 2-3 weeks are the hardest...just focus on your liquids and the Protein will come as you get further along. Good luck with your new life!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suepeeps 230 Posted September 18, 2012 DUH why didn't I think of only mixing up 1/2 at a time!!! Thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly be doing that from now on. They are much better fresh if you ask me!!! 2 Sheree and RainyGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
