When drinking a protein shake, are you suppose to spend an hour drinking it because it's 8oz?

I can drink a 8oz in about 1/2 hour.....is this ok?

Am I getting all the protein from that shake since I am drinking it faster?

Depends really how far out you are. I am 4 days out and am told strictly it should take an hour to drink it.

I believe when I was a month out, I was drinking a cup less than 30 minutes. The nut told me that was fine and she said I would know if I drank too much too fast by some kind of pressure in your chest.

Yup, after the first couple weeks when things are healed, you can drink faster.

If you go too fast (or too cold or too hot) your pouch will let you know IMMEDIATELY!

As long as it feels comfortable for you, you can drink it as fast as you want.

Yes, you still get all the protein. Why would drinking fast keep you from getting protein?

You will know it if you drink it too fast. YOWCH! I learned quickly! Now at 11 weeks out, I can drink pretty quickly, but with anything thicker I have to take it a bit slower.
