Question:
Does anybody else have trouble getting their protein shakes down?
It takes me a good hour to drink mine. Will that affect the way the protein is absorbed?I heard its best to eat your meals within 10 minutes? Is that true? Thanks. — Elizabeth C. (posted on November 12, 2002)

My support group stresses after 20 minutes put it away. Limit your meal to
a 20 minute interval.

You don't say how long you are postop. I had trouble with the shakes at
first. I went back to them after about 2 months and they've been a
lifesaver. Bear in mind that your taste(bud)s will change postop. Hope
this helps.

What kind of protein? How are you making it up? How much what to how much
what? How many oz is it when you're done with it? Maybe it can be cut
down to smaller size? Do 2-3-4 per day instead?

I had the same problem until I found Real Meals. Not only me it seems that
a lot of people that try it think it is the best. Check the product
reviews on it here is the link just copy and paste it
http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/product-detail.phtml?pid=527 I
think some more people put in reviews under meal replacements too. It not
only tastes good. It has 60 grams of protein (I split it into two mini
shakes) and over 40 other vitamins and nutrients. Including biotin to
prevent hair loss and lean muscle stimulators to prevent sagging skin. You
can also go to their website at www.protein-solution.com

I am 4 weeks post-op and I can not get any protein shakes down. I have
tried tons pre and post-op and they are so thick and foamy and such an
awful tast that as a postie, they make me gag and I have to throw them
away. I have tried the carnation no sugar added and added extra powdered
milk with it and I can get a few ounces of it down before it gags me..it
tastes too sweet. Seems I cant win. I am also at a stage now that many
meats will not go down well. I have figured that I get about 15-20 grams
daily. I am supposed to get 60-90. So I know how you feel. I am hoping
things get better as we go along.

I have to drink my protein with tons of ice, I fill my glass with ice until
there is no more room and sip with a straw and sometimes...I want more. I
had trouble finishing soy drinks but love whey products.

scoops of the pro mod, a half cup of ice, and 2 tablespoons of Cool whip
