Should I be waiting to drink water (or another liquid) after my protein shakes? While on my liquid diet (right now, today) the shakes are acting as a meal replacement. I understand I won't be able to drink much those first few days so whatever I get in is good. I'm just asking as a general rule of thumb what you all do?

Pre-op, don't worry about the timing of drinking water with anything else. Just follow your Drs nutritional guidelines. Don't worry about timing. That is for when you have restricted capacity, not before.

Thanks!
