Can You Drink A Whole Protein Shake?



Recommended Posts

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 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. :)

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!!!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
