Protein shake taking for ever to drink

[Pelicanlady 122]

Had my surgery on Tuesday and today was my first day to drink my Protein. I started on my shake 4 hours ago and I still have 5 oz. left to drink. It is so hard to get down. I usually love the shakes, but this is such a chore. I drink a little bit of that and a small drink of Water to help it go down. Good thing I am getting 27 grams of Protein from this.

I am a newbie. My surgery is scheduled July 16th. I am nervous about this situation. So, I have done a lot of research. I am going to try a product called 'Protein 100'. It has 15 gms of Protein for every ounce. Has anyone tried something like that?

Just an FYI It has been said that ur body can only absorb/process 30 grams of protien at a time. So if ur drink has 15g per ounce then its a waste if u plan on drinking more than 2 ounces at a time. And after surgery when u go to ur mostly protien diet u will most likely get constipated. But good luck in ur journey it will all be worth it.

I'm scheduled for a sleeve on the 16th also. I'm starting to get a little nervous. I just ordered the Bariatric Advantage.

I am 5 weeks post op and still get full half way through my Protein shake. When drinking my shake I make sure to only drink that and nothing else because if you are drinking the shake and the Water, chances are you will get full a lot quicker because of the Water itself. Protein is always first.

When I was on a liquid diet for the first few weeks after surgery my program suggested the following:

On an even hour of the day drink 4 ounces of Protein shake

On the odd hour of the day drink 4 ounces of Water. Do this starting at 7am thru the day

I followed this for 3 weeks. I was able to get 32 ounces of Water and 32 ounces of Protein Shake in a day, hitting all goals for both
