protien shakes

[Tracey]

I was banded on March 20th. TOmorrow will be 10 days post op and I am supposed to start protien shakes. How much am I supposed to drink at one time? Do I drink the whole can? or do I only drink half a cup? I know I should have 30 grams of protien a day. I'm going to use slim-fast optima. I would appreciate any help. I want to make sure I do the right thing.

Tracey,

If Doctor Ortiz did your surgery, they want you drinking 1/2 cup at a time at first. I drink 1/2 the can, then the other half about an hour later. 2 cans of the slim fast optima give you the 30 grams you need for the day. Hope that helps!

THank you for your help. I thought it was 1/2 cup at a time but wasn't sure.
