3 weeks post op protein shakes

Question, I am 3 and a half weeks out of surgery and I was wondering how much of my protein shake I should be doing at a time? I noticed that the first week or so it would take me all day to drink all 11oz of a shake. Now I think I can almost finish an entire shake in maybe over 30 min. Is this normal? I do not want to stretch my pouch but I do not feel like my stomach gets like overloaded when I drink the shake. Also, do we still need to sip?

    I was always able to drink more than they said I would. It's fluid - it goes through you pretty quickly - your stomach will let you know if you're drinking too fast.

  • You are good!!! It's solid foods that will make your pouch say "don't swallow another bite!!" Best of luck to you!!!
