Do I have to space my Protein out throughout the day? Or can I finish my protein intake in the morning and focus on other liquids?

I'm still on liquid stage. 5days post up. I purchased whey protein, and 2 scoops of powder equals 60gram of protein. So I could potentially make a 10oz glass of whey in the morning and be done with my protein?

Drinking shakes is still difficult at this stage so if I could just finish my Protein shake in the morning and then focus on Water and Vitamin water that would be easier for me. Still the goal at the end of the day is to get 65oz of fluids. I'm currently at 55oz working up.

You can only absorb so much Protein at one time, so it would be better to space it out and not do more than 30g at once.

My NUT approved me to drink it at one time and then have other Protein throughout the day. I am six months out. No problems and my blood work came back excellent. No deficiencies in protein. I use a scoop of GENEPRO and a scoop of Unjury in 8 ounces of Water and its 58 grams of protein. I still eat protein at other meals. No junk. And less than 40 carbs a day. I usually get in about 500-800 calories a day. I think everybody has different rules. ????

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
