I am just under 2 weeks post op. I still just drink 1/2 of a shake at a time. I don't want to feel too full. I have not had any problems since surgery and I don't want to have any

How long until you drank a whole shake???

I still just drink half at a time. I had my surgery Feb 28th 2012

I think it was about 3 to 4 weeks out.

Just make sure you get your liquids in. It will come in time.

There's no hurry! You will get there in no time at all. I really enjoyed drinking small amounts of my protein drink at first. It was around the 4th week that I could drink the majority of it.

thanks! I have no problem with water or tea. I am getting plenty of liquids in. So happy that is easy for me! I think that has helped a lot for why I feel so good!!!

that is just what my Dr. told me. THE MOST important thing the 1st month is getting in your liquids. Then you will concentrate on liquids AND protein. It made me feel much better. You may want to just mix 1/2 of your shake at a time because I have read the protein only stays stable for up to an hour.

If the one hour was true how do they make ready to drink protein shakes. I use powder and mix full serving in 4 oz of water to make sure i get all I need in one day.

At the beginning it used to take me 90 minutes to drink a premade shake. I can now drink a whole one in about 15-20min at 9 weeks out.

It may not seem like it now but the time will fly by...the first 2-3 weeks are the hardest...just focus on your liquids and the Protein will come as you get further along.

Good luck with your new life!!

DUH why didn't I think of only mixing up 1/2 at a time!!!

Thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly be doing that from now on. They are much better fresh if you ask me!!!
