4 Days post-op

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?

Ummm my surgery was Thursday 7-11 and its taking me about 10-15mins to drink 2oz then stop .. My doc said 2oz every 15mins

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

I did start my Vitamins, just the samples they gave me at my pre-op visit. Still deciding which ones to buy. I did not need my nesuea or pain meds at all yesterday! Yeah!

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.
