How long did it take others to get to the 64 ounce wayer and 60 g of protein. This is day 5 post op, not even close.
Hi Cindy, it took me about 2 months to reach this. In the beginning I could hardly eat or drink anything. I am 9 weeks post surgery now and am finally able to get my protein in with the Premier Protein shakes, and am almost able to get all of my water in. It still is hard though with the water since I either would eat enough or drink enough, but can't yet do both.How long did it take others to get to the 64 ounce wayer and 60 g of protein.

My surgery was on 12/6. I still struggle to get all of my protein in. I was doing good in the beginning and then my dietician told me I should only be having 1/2 shake. That's only 15g of protein. Since you just had surgery, don't push it yet. Your body is still getting used to your new, smaller tummy.How long did it take others to get to the 64 ounce wayer and 60 g of protein.

Hi Christine, I have a question for you. When you were told to only take 1/2 a shake, was that in one sitting? or in total? For me drinking one protein shake of 300 mls takes me 2-3 hours, but it gives me 30 g of protein. I couldn't even drink 1/2 of the drink at one time. I am curious because I dont know if I need to do things differently.My surgery was on 12/6. I still struggle to get all of my protein in.

The 1/2 shake was in one sitting, but I was not able to drink more than a few sips until 2-3 weeks after surgery. The 1/2 shake was told to me at 6 weeks.Hi Christine, I have a question for you.
