How Fast Do You Drink A Protein Shake??



Recommended Posts

I'm one week post op... It takes me about 10min to drink a 10oz Protein Shake I feel full after but not so full that I'm stuffed (I guess that's how I got here, I always ate till the STUFFED feeling lol) am I drinking too fast or is this fine?

Yes. My doc said I really shouldn't take more than 5 or 10 mins to drink the shake. Happy drinking. :)

Just don't try gulping it down, as it might go down slowly

I usually take about 15 minutes, but I go slow intentionally to keep from rushing the rest of my meals. I use the slow speed for liquid or solid.

I use a Protein Shake to take my meds in the morning so I guess I drink it pretty slowly. But if I have one for a snack I slam it down because it is about the only thing I can do that with. :P

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
