How long does it take to finish a protein drink?
It takes me about an hour to an hour and a half. They just don't settle well with me - I am five months post op. Just bought some Inspire Protein Powder from the Before and After Help website and that seemed better. I mixed it with 6 ounces of water and one container of Greek yogurt so lots of protein in that one drink.

It depends on how much liquid you are talking about. Some people prefer their shakes thicker or thinner than average, and some people make more at a time than others.
My surgeon indicated that I should be able to finish an 8-ounce protein shake in 30-45-minutes and I did not have any trouble doing that even just a couple of days after surgery. That is only one ounce of liquid every 5 minutes.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Immediately after surgery? A couple of hours. Now, six years later? 10 minutes.
