I believe he was asking if he should not drink Water 30 mins prior to drinking Protein Shakes. A great question that I dont know the answer to. I dont keep track of my Fluid intake before or after Protein shakes but I could be doing something wrong.

I was just wondering if drinking Protein drinks have the same rules about drinking Water. Do I stop drinking Water 30 mins before and wait 45 mins after?

I don't know the answer. But today was the first day I actually had a RTD Protein shake (I've been adding unflavored Protein to my G2 and CL) and I had it after I finished drinking done liquids... Took 2hrs to drink and I feel stuffed!

First time of feeling like I over ate since surgery and I didn't eat.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Ah! You are so correct. Sorry about that.

Uh, it is liquid and your pyloric valve is going to open, sooo ... absorption takes place in the intestines, so I can't imagine why it would matter. After working out, I often would have a Protein shake in one hand and a Gatorade in the other. My Dr never said "No", but you may just want to contact yours if it weighs on your mind.

I did have that experience up to 3 months. Now it takes no time for me to drink a Protein Drink, especially after a hard workout. And I do not feel stuffed any longer. It is almost like drinking Water for me.

I was told that it's the same as drinking fluids. I'm 4 weeks out and it takes me an hour or more to drink an 8 oz shake. I'm allowed to drink Water with it if I want. My dr even said to include it in my 64oz of liquids because I'm 'tiny' (accotding to my dr) I don't have to have all that Water.< /p>

I am only 8 days out and I have not experienced the fullness/ heaviness as I am feeling with this one shake that I drank. I can't even get anymore liquids because I still feel stuffed! I had this shake 3 hrs ago!

This is my first time having this feeling as I usually add unflavored Proteins powder to my G2 and crystal light drink and goes out of me pretty fast.

Sounds normal. I have to sip on mine and after an hour or so I'll finally finish and it takes another hour before I'm done feeling full. I use the costco Premium chocolate premade shakes. I have had a lot of people recommend them.

Thanks for that info!

I can't even fit any Water or other fluids in after drinking my Protein Shake. So I wait 30 to 45 minutes before drinking anything else.

I guess because I usually put my unflavored in 32oz of liquid... It always felt as though I was drinking water, but when I drank that 11 oz Protein shake... It definitely feels me up for too long. I don't think I will be able to get the rest of my fluids or protein in for today.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
