How Exactly Am I Supposed To Get An 11 Oz Protein Shake Into A 4 Oz Stomach? I

[Jen in SoCal 189]

So far all I can get in is 2oz at a time. Any advice? So nervous about dehydrating myself. Is it normal to only be able to take in that much 5 days postop?

Yes I couldn't get much in either! Hang in there and just drink as much as possible!

It should take you an hour to hour and a half to drink an 8 oz shake is what I was told....I try to buy the Protein that only needs about 6-8 oz of liquid to mix.....

Absolutely normal. The name of the game is sip, sip, sip and before long - chew, chew, chew!! How long it takes you to eat or drink is not nearly as important as how much you eat and drink. Especially for the first few weeks post-op. Sounds like you're doing great!!
