I'm 4 days post op and wondering about how long it should be taking me to finish a shake. Preop I drank them fast because I don't like the taste and I could gulp with a straw. Now I'm having a hard time drinking them.

It will get better with time. At 4 days post op, it took me maybe 30 mins. And that was if I could even finish it. Now at 12 days post op, I can finish 8 oz in probably 10-15 mins.

I'm also 4 days post op. So far I haven't finished one. Seriously. I had one the day after surgery that took all day. Saturday all day I managed about half a premier shake. Today I tried a Syntrax nectar "shake". Got the whole thing down over 4 hours. I just can't do the heavy shakes yet. I ordered more of the syntrax in different flavors. Try Nashuanutrition.com. They sell samples of lots of different powders so you can try before you invest a lot of money b

3 days post op it took me 4 hours to drink my first shake. Very small sips every 15 minutes. Today 10 days post op I finished it in 1/2 hour. Am able to take larger sips and had no problems with any kind of stomach pain. Today I was even able to make one of the shakes into a kind of pudding. I don't remember how long it took to eat it but I had no problems.

It took me about 1 hr to finish an 11 oz shake for the first few weeks. Now at 4 weeks out I can finish it in about 30. We're suppose to drink/eat slowly taking our time. If I drink too fast my sleeve lets me know.

3 days post op, takes me about 3 hours to finish a 8oz ensure. Hoping it will get better.

Lol I'm almost 5 months out and I can't finish a protein drink

3.5 months and sometimes takes me all day! Lol. It's very rich and 'solid,' so takes time - not like sipping on water.

im 8 weeks out. i have one every morning for breakfast. i open it at 7 am when i get to work. im usually finished at 9. 11 ounce premier

I'm just over 6 months out and it still takes me a good twenty-thirty minutes to finish my breakfast protein shake/smoothie. I've just learned to factor it into my schedule.

First two weeks took me 3-4 hours to finish an 8oz Shake

I'm 1 month out and it takes me 30-45min.

I'm 9 weeks out and it takes me 30-60 minutes.

I think a week out it took me maybe 45 mins?
