when were you able to get your first serving of protein down
5'-8",HW 
The day of my surgery. They brought me a Cytomax clear protein drink as soon as I got to my room after surgery. Took me the rest of the day to drink it.

When asking questions like this, it is very helpful to say which surgery you had. With my band, I was drinking high protein, thin soups by day three.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
I had to drink a 6oz protein drink before I could leave the hospital (RNY). I did not have any issues, it tasted super sweet, but I could choke that down to be able to leave.
After I got home, I started drinking the Isopure ready made drinks and those were not as sweet and went down much better.
