When should I start the protein shakes?

My dr hasn't mentioned anything to me yet and I am over a month out. Is that weird to anyone else? I see everyone is doing the shake thing and clearly I could be getting more protein than i am? thoughts/ suggestions?

I started them as soon as I was able to do the full liquid phase. My surgeon didn't say anything to me about them either. He just said get the 60 grams of protein, no matter what. I'm still struggling with it. I think you are probably at a point where you could try them.

J, I could be wrong but you should have already been drinking protein. I started on those things about a week out. Brenda

I started out on full liquids in the hospital. So I came home on protein drinks. You should be drinking them if you are on full liquids. My doc has the same diet for RNYers and Bandsters. Antoinette in TX banded 5-10-04 256/235/150
