How fast do you drink Protein shakes
I'm only 2.5 weeks post-op, but I can drink an 11 oz Atkins protein shake in about 20-30 minutes....sometimes 45, though. I agree with the person who commented about getting gas (bubbles) if I try and do it too quickly.....that all my change, though when I have my first fill on November 3rd.....

I make my own shakes with the blender, so it really depends on how much 'stuff' I use.
If I make it using 25 grams of Isopure powder, I add orange juice, milk and a handful of ice cubes. (1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup OJ... 7 ice cubes)
That makes a 16 or so ounce shake. I can get that down in about 40 minutes. But that's all I concentrate on for those 40 minutes. I make sure I sip every other minute or so.
I did try to make a 50 gram shake one day, I just doubled everything. It was huge! (Over 32 ounces I think)
I was only able to do a little more than half... and that took me an hour and a half.
Every day is different it seems. Some days I want, and can tolerate a protein shake... While other days it's a battle getting it down.
I think I'm going to try those atkins ones. Are those pre-made?
