How Do I Drink The Protein?

[Boots]

hi pat

im having my surgery on 7/16 and im wondering when i come home from the hospital i know the rules about drinking water (2 oz. every 15-20 minutes). but if you have to consume 60-70 oz of protein a day wouldnt i be sipping this all day instead of the water.

how does this work and how much should i buy for when i get home?

also what do you think is better the shakes or the drinks? wouldnt the drinks be less filling so i will be able to consume more as needed?

thank you
edie

Hi, you will need to drink/eat 60-70 grams per day. your protein supplements count as your liquid for the day. so for example it should take you about 1 hour to drink an 8oz drink. the magic bullets that Anita is suggesting is an idea however I totally agree with her that you should try many different ones and have several at home. variety is important with the protein supplements. If you begin to have yogurt and milk when you get home. You will probably be able to get about 10 grams of protein in a day that way. Hope that his helps.
