I am 4 days post op after a sleeve......
I have tried to get plain protein isolate into my little portions but I cant stand the taste. I have been able to get a couple of premier protein down so my protein today is over 60 gms but someone said I shouldn't drink more than 1 a day......Has anyone else heard this? I am just trying to get my 90 grams of protein until I am on soft food where I can increase my natural protein. I ate 2 shakes 1/2 cup cream of wheat, 1/2 cup of cream of tomatoe soup and almost 4 glasses of water so far today

At this stage in the game if you get 2 shakes in and all your water you are good. I'm still drinking one a day to get all my protein in (RNY) and I'm 8 months out. Do what you need to do to hit your protein targets. Short term, having 2 a day is not an issue. You have to do what you have to do to hit your goals.
