Im 3 weeks postop and i can easily take a 12 oz shake in a few minute



Recommended Posts

about 4 ounces. It takes me 60-75 minutes to drink a 16.9 ounce water bottle. And I feel like I am a good drinker. No problems, pain, or vomiting.

For some reason I can drink a lot too.

However, I get really sick if I drink a Protein shake that fast.

It's not a problem if you can drink Water normally though, which I can for the most part.

I can drink about 12 oz an hour but makes me feel like I've been snacking the whole time lol.

I was the same way, I was able to drink normally within a few days post op. I could drink large amounts, and didn't have to sip. I was worried, but my NUT said it was fine. She said everyone is different, and we all have different anatomy. Just do what feels right for your body.

At first I could drink no problem, but now, as time goes on I'm more like bonbon says above.

Days 1-5 couldn't drink much at all

Days 6-15 no issues drinking at all

Days 16-current..I can feel the restriction coming on as the meds completely leave my system. I feel significant restriction. My Water goes down slower than her tho.

It will take me aprox 3 hours to drink my 24oz water bottle. A 8oz shake is now about 30 minutes.

But like I said, days 6-15 I could sort of chug.

Hope this helps.

I have found drinking liquids like Water to be more difficult now than the first 7-10 days. Milk however, goes down much easier than anything else.

I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow. I have very little restrictions with reguard to liquids of any kind. I can drink a Protein Shake on under 20 min... and if I haven't eaten in a while I can chug Water. My problem is last night I started really wanting food. I've been struggling with this all day. Purees just aren't doing it for me like I hoped they would. I think because everything is so liquidy it just goes right through me. I ate a cheese stick today, chewed it till it was liquefied and finally felt full... for hours. But now that I'm full.. I don't want to drink and get hungry again. Very confusing.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
