Fiddleman 4,376 Posted November 18, 2012 I started Protein Shakes in the hospital on 3rd day, even if only sips. I may have been on the abnormal side because the swelling hurt so much for a few days. After the swelling went down on 5th day I was drinking 1-2 ounces of Protein Shake every hour for 3 weeks. Then I switched to 4-5 ounce shake servings 3 x a day during puree stage. After 5 weeks I switched to 8 oz shakes 2x a day for Breakfast and bedtime and have been having two of these a day since then in addition to other Protein sources during the day. Hope this helps.
