How many ounces are your protein shakes post lap band? Are people making them 4, 6, or 8 ounces? I don't feel full with 4 oz. shakes so I was just curious. Do those in the green zone find that 8oz. of shake is too much? I sometimes blend in a banana as several people had suggested to me, but does this mean I should decrease the milk from one cup to a half cup? General shake advice appreciated!

I do 8.

Unjury says to mix the powder with 8oz of skim milk, so that is what I've always done.

Thank you for the responses! I will continue to do the 8 ounces of milk as I've been doing. I know it ends up being more than 8 ounces if I add ice or banana, but I sip it slowly, so I won't stress about it. Thanks again.

My Costco Priemier Protein shakes are 11 oz for 30g protein each. I drinbk the whole thing after freezing for 45 minutes. A smoothie!

I started out with 4ozs mixing mine because I did not like them and was only drinking them because it was the right thing to do. I still only mix mine in 6 ozs and I do not mix mine in milk, I use water. I chose not to add the extra calories and I don't do much dairy by choice it gives me gas. I get my calcium and Vit D from supplements.

I would make up 16 oz in the morning and drink 1 oz every hour while awake (instructions of my dr). I bought a sleeve of little 1 oz medicine cups to drink it out of. I was only on Protein shakes for about 2 weeks tho - I cut them out myself when they started making me nauseous.
