1 wk postop protein absorption...

hello everyone,  i am 1 wk roux en y post op, on a puree diet & was wondering what is the best time to drink protein bullets for better absorption and how much time should i wait before drinking after them... anyone have any experience with new-whey42gm protein bullets? i find myself a bit overwhelmed and am looking to have these protein satisfy a main portion of my 80 grams of daily protein. looking forward to your responses.

There is no better time for absorption. Your body will gladly receive all the protein you take it. It is tough at first to meet your daily protein needs - just stick with it and it should get easier in time. Good luck!

When I first came home, post-op, I kept shot glasses in the freezer, put 1oz. of protein bullet in at a time, and sipped, sipped, sipped.  I have used almost nothing but these bullets, and at 3 months my bloodwork was perfect!  At 3.5 months I have experienced no significant hair loss, which is another plus of getting in ALL of your protein from day #1. 

Now, I pour 3oz of bullet into 16oz water and get this down between meals when I am in the "drinking, not eating" stage of the day!  You can add a bit of Crystal Light or some other flavoring, too.

Congratulations on your entry into ReleaseLand!
