Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hiya - What's your name? Congrats on surgery! Who told you you need to wait 30 min before and after a shake to drink? A shake is fluid, and doesn't " stick " in the pouch - the rule about not drinking after eating is to prevent washing food outta the pouch, preserving the feeling of full. Doesn't apply to shakes . . . Also, we drink up to the first bite of food . . . and drink a shake within 30 minutes of mixing it. The protein breaks down after 30 min., leaving nothing but carbs and calories . . . the only reason to drink so slow is if it hurts you. Then drink slow enough *not* to hurt, but don't drag it out *all* day . . .. <g> Good luck . . . Subject: protein intake I am finally on " the other side " . I had my LAP RNY on 05-24-04 and I have lost 20lbs to date. I am having a problem with protein intake. My Dr's program calls for me to have 80 g a day of protein. That equates to 4 shakes a day at 1 cup of fluid per shake. While trying to intake my water at about 60cc per hour I feel like I am drinking something all the time if I wait the 30 minutes before and after my shake drink. I also spread the drinking of the shakes our over an hour or so. I am still on clear liguids and shakes only until my check up on 06-03-04. Any ideas on how to get what I need for fluids?
