 |  How Do I Drink Protein???
im having my surgery on 7/16 and im wondering when i come home from the hospital i know the rules about drinking water (2 oz. every 15-20 minutes). but if you have to consume 60-70 oz of protein a day wouldnt i be sipping this all day instead of the water.
how does this work and how much should i buy for when i get home?
also what do you think is better the shakes or the drinks? wouldnt the drinks be less filling so i will be able to consume more as needed?

Hey Boots,
Well I think all the surgeons are different. My doctors rule of thumb was no more than 8oz in an hour in the begining. And just to be honest I had
a hard time getting in all my protein at first. But slowly I was able to up
the amount I had. I would use Slim Fast low carb/high protein shakes
and then also I would use the carnation instant breakfast drinks too that were high in protein and it had no surgar added. I know alot of the other people on the boards used different stuff too. Like I said, I think it depends on your surgeons office.

I Was Told I Have To Get Between 15-20 Grams Of Protein With Each Meal For A Total Of 60-70 Grams Per Day. Which Seem Like Alot. So It Seems Like I'll Be Sipping This All Day. When Will I Have Time For Water?

wait. 60-70 grams of protein a day not ounces. It is VERY confusing I know lol. 64 ozs of fluids per day seems to be the norm.
True indeed it depends on what your dr says. I'm sure they will give you a list of what to drink and when. They'll also suggest shakes and what have you.
( i had a hard time getting it all in... and still do)

let me give you an example. my meal plan for when i first got home was alternating 4 ozs of shake and other fluids. 8 am 4 ozs of shake, 9 am 4 ozs diet snapple, 10 am 4 ozs shake.....etc. this went on from 8 am until 8 pm.
of course i couldnt ever get in all 4 ozs of either lol. but i guess this type of schedule maximized the possibility of getting in all i should have....

So You Liked The Shakes Better Than The Protein Drinks (which Are Thinner So Less Filling?)

Think of the protien (grams) as a power that has to be mixed in a fluid (ounces). You can put a whole lot of grams of powder in just a small amount of water and end up with a paste, or add a little more water and it's like a gravy, or add enough so that it's liquid. You can get a lot of grams per ounce. (I had to figure this all out to be a paramedic ;o)
