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.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
