I usually try to wait 30 minutes but have on occasion with no ill effect, drank Water after drinking a Protein Shake. ;)

You should also wait 1/2 hour before Water after Protein Shakes. the reason being that if you drink water right away or with it, your body does not absorb the nutrients and the Protein, same reason you should wait 30 minutes after eating anything to drink again.

I guess it depends on how you do your Protein drinks. I actually dilute my Protein Drinks in a full 28-ounce Water bottle to make it last longer and get more fluids in. I usually have Breakfast & then do a Protein Drink that way between Breakfast & lunch & then do a water bottle filled with crystal light between lunch & dinner. I sometimes do 2 Protein Drinks a day like that. I believe that since I'm drinking it diluted and slowly I'm fine with absorption.

However, if you tried to drink your Protein Drink quickly, then I'd agree with the others that said to wait before adding Water.< /p>

My nutritionist said the rule doesn't apply to liquids so I don't and have never waited. My Protein levels are great in my blood work.

I'm worried about my Protein levels but I'm only 2 weeks out. The highest I have had in two weeks was 37 ounces and yesterday was 14 and my average is only 22. I'm trying too. I may have to just completely spend an entire day drinking an entire Isopure bottle. I am praying my body decides to accept the Protein Shakes again, because right now they are nauseating me.

Same here. My NUT counts Protein drinks as a liquid. I don't dilute mine for more liquids, but I do sip Water at the same time because most protein drinks dry my mouth out something awful.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
