I'm struggling to drink the last of my shake so I thought I'd boast a bit, lol, and see if that'll motivate me for the last of it.

I have 1/2 c left and I'll have 56 G protein and 24 oz ff milk and water down!!!!

I'm starting to hate these things!!!!!!

It kills me to this day to drink 8 oz of Protein. Lol

Who knew liquid could sit so heavy! I always try to trick my body into thinking its just Water or juice, but it knows!!!

I fix a protein shake every morning with 16 oz ff milk, 8 oz water. It contains 56 g. I don't do anything else until I drink it all. Takes about 2-3 hours.

I try to drink mine in the hour it takes me to get to work each morning. But it's like my mind knows and wont drink it.

I don't have problems with big gulps of liquid, but if I take big gulps of protein, my stomach will be killing me by the time I get out of the car

Oh, I do not take joy in saying this but the body is only able to utilize about 30 grams of protein at a time... So the rest is "wasted" sorry

Laura

So perhaps drinking it half for one meal and then go back to it later for another meal?

I can't gulp anything. I'm 11 days out and just sipping constantly. I put 40 g in one shake and that, along with 16 g of milk protein is all I can manage. I'm struggling to get it all in this morning.

Ok

Oh I don't take joy in hearing such-----wowser!!! I think I may puke!!! :-(

Not really. :-/ I'll break it up, like you said. It'll probably go down easier!!! That's good to know!!!!

OMG---the rest of the protein I've been drinking DAILY is converted and stored as fat!?!?!?!?!?

Geeze........how counterproductive could I be!!??

Your only 11 days out! It's ok I promise

Actually, I'm not too distraught. I'm a bit amused by my antics. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

Hehe... I've said that too myself ALOT during this "journey"

I know what you mean, I'm not crazy about protein drinks either. As soon as I was cleared for soft foods, I made it a point of eating my protein instead of drinking it. I was low at first, but I was eventually able to meet my goals.

Protein shakes feel like a rock in my stomach. I sometimes drink 1/2 a premier shake in the morning and the other 1/2 in the afternoon. But I prefer to eat my protein instead of drinking it.
