how long should it take me to consume my Protein Shake. I love the taste of the one I made this morning. It has a lot of Protein in it. Is there a time limit? I am trying to be cautious of my new stomach. And I want to promote healing. Am I just not use to eating slowly. Any thoughts?

That seems to be what it is taking me. I guesa I nees to get my brain used to looking at this amount and not consuming it like I used too. Congratulations on your surgery. How are you feeling?

My doctor said 2oz every 15mins too... And trust me, my stomach wouldn't let me do more than that.. You'll know.. I used to drink crazy fast but there's no way now! I'm almost 2 weeks from surgery, I can drink just a little more than I did in the hospital but not very much... Still takes me about an hr... Sipping on an 8 oz Protein Shake.< /p>

wow! with one day to go that is serious business. like many guys that love intense sports activity, i can down fluids quickly, no I mean massively. 15oz in 2minutes sounds rather slow ;)

aliekat55 it is very weird for me to see the portions I was able to consume and what I can literally take in now. Good luck with your surgery.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
