How long does it take you to drink



Recommended Posts

How far out from surgery are you? Earlier its harder, but it gets better. At almost 6 months I can drink about 8 oz over 15 minutes.

I carry a 32oz bottle with me everywhere. During my work day I make sure to finish it, sipping periodically throughout the day, then drink some more at home before/after dinner.

I don't quiet get 64oz daily, but I'm close. Works for me.

You're doing great at an hour and a half. I bring a 32 ounce cup of tea to work and it takes me the entire work day to drink it. That of course includes stops for a snack and lunch.

At two weeks, it was taking me that long too, if not longer. Now at four weeks I can sometimes finish one in 45 min. It will get better with time!

I cannot answer this question as drinking has become and unconscious activity. It's just something I do. I fact, I have to measure my liquids as I go through the day, I dispense 16oz at a time, when empty I log it. But there are shakes, coffee in fact just about everything I eat is a liquid at this point. I got through a 34 oz Water bottle in 2.5 hours during school last night (and that was while trying to get caught up in Statistics), however I drank the same bottle in about an hour earlier in the day. My NUT is getting miffed as she said I am taking in too much liquid.< /p>

A really long time! I sip on 20oz bottle all day. I also do a Protein Shake for liquids... I need to increase my Water but it is hard!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
