I'm 3 days post op, and on my second day of full liquids. Yesterday it took me about 10 hours to drink a single Premier Protein shake. I was only able to get in 30g of protein yesterday, although I did get in over 60oz total of Fluid.

I'm dreading this task again today. I have to really focus on constantly sipping this stuff. And every sip makes me feel really, really full and a bit uncomfortable. I'm sure it gets easier, and I know it's only been one day if this, but it's daunting to think about.

How long did it take you guys until you could fairly easily get down 60g of protein and 64oz of fluids?

All in all things are going well. Pain/discomfort is fairly small and easily controlled with pain meds. Getting up and down and moving around is no problem. I know I'm probably fortunate, but still feeling a little sorry for myself this morning as I face down this Protein Shake. Ugh.

@@kaitlynm When you mix the syntax up, does it end up all frothy and nasty (in my opinion!) like the other Protein options, or does it end up more like a flavored Water (similar to isopure)? Thanks.

Hi. I'm 2 weeks post-op and looking for a great organic flavorless whey protien powder. Any recommendations? Ps: does vegetable juice count as food? Today I need to start adding food and the baby food is disgusting.

I still found it to be frothy. I suppose I could have let it settle for a few hours, but the whey flavor just drove me away from it. I'm sticking to powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, now. None of that weird taste.

I mix it up and then let it set in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. The froth all goes away then. I like it really cold as well (I now like my water that way also). I don't taste the protein powder taste in it. I just taste flavored water. It does stay mixed in the refrigerator so no need to reshake it.

Hello, I use "Isopure zero carb" (creamy vanilla) and mix it with cold 1% milk. Two scoops Isopure and 8 Oz milk gives me 58 gram Protein in one haul. I use Isopure because of the high protein content. It might work for you to. Good luck.

Be careful and don't drink all of that at once. We only metabolize about 20-25 grams of protein at a time so you would need to divide this up three ways to get benefit of all of the protein.
