Ok to sip on protein all day post-op?

I have noticed what a huge challenge many folks have with consuming enough Protein in the first weeks post op. I am planning for my post op days and was wondering....is there any reason I can't mix unflavored Protein powder (Genepro) into my Water or crystal light and just sip on it all day long? Or drink watered down Syntrax nectar instead of plain water?

This would be in addition to my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes, of course.

Thx!

    I think quite a few have done that.

    My nutritionist said that Protein shakes count as eating food. So I have to wait at least 30 minutes before and after to drink Water. But water with flavored protein in it is okay, that would count as water.
