Drinking protein drink fast
At only three weeks out you likely are not feeling "full" yet until you are overly full, so it is VERY important to measure your portions and not eat any more than that. Also, many of us who are obese don't really know what true physical hunger is... we misinterpret our DESIRE to eat more with true PHYSICAL hunger and that can cause us to overeat.
I don't see any problem with drinking the protein shake in 30 minutes, but I am concerned that you are eating pork skins at only three weeks out. Fried foods are not a good idea! You said they don't have any protein, but they should have protein in them. It doesn't make them a better choice since they are fried and therefore high in calories, but re-check the label.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I re-checked the label it only has 80 calories per serving and a serving size is 1/2 oz and no carbs no sugar no fats no proteins I spoke with my baratric nutritiest and she said that was fine I'm going to back off of them because it either gets stuck or I'm full one I can't really desifer the difference but why. When I eat 4oz of chicken and cabbage I'm not satisfied nor full my stomach is the size. Of an egg how can I hold that much food and still not satisfied I don't understand it I told. My doctor and he said as long as I'm eatin the ight kinds of food I just don't get it
If it has no carbs, fats, sugars, or protein, WTH is it (and where do the calories come from)?!?
What does the ingredients list say (and what brand is it)? I'm not questioning your veracity, but I am questioning their nutritional information because basically they are saying it has NONE of the primary components of food (carbs, fat, protein).

I googled it and looked at labels for three different brands of pork skins and they all had about nine grams of protein per serving. So this is very confusing. They all had about five grams of fat per serving, too.

I think she asked that because she is surprised to hear someone is eating pork skins at just three weeks post op. It seems like such an unusual thing to be eating so early out.

I would ditch the pork rinds, they don't provide anything you need and at 3 weeks are pretty harsh texture wise.
