3rd day post op.....taking 4 hours to drink 11 ounces

[AnnMarie1957 42]

Premier Protein shake tastes fine but a couple sips is all I can manage in 30 minutes.

Is this normal?

Sipping Water between sips of Protein shakes.

My doc said to use a shot glass a have 1 ounce every ten minutes for 10 hours of the day. That would leave 14 hours for sleep and excercise or other activities. It really helped me not to get behind in my Water and shake drinking.

I can only drink about 2 oz of premiere protein in an hour. I pour a 4 oz glass and sip it until its gone for Breakfast. Then just try to get in Water. I'm 6 days post op and its hard getting in anything! A few sip in 30 min is fine. They told me to try a ounce every 15 min. I have to work at it, but can do it. Good luck to you!

It does get easier. The 1 oz/hour is good in the beginning.

good luck!
