3 weeks post op protein shakes



Recommended Posts

Question, I am 3 and a half weeks out of surgery and I was wondering how much of my Protein Shake I should be doing at a time? I noticed that the first week or so it would take me all day to drink all 11oz of a shake. Now I think I can almost finish an entire shake in maybe over 30 min. Is this normal? I do not want to stretch my pouch but I do not feel like my stomach gets like overloaded when I drink the shake. Also, do we still need to sip?

I was always able to drink more than they said I would. It's Fluid - it goes through you pretty quickly - your stomach will let you know if you're drinking too fast.

You are good!!! It's solid foods that will make your pouch say "don't swallow another bite!!"

Best of luck to you!!!
