Do you wait 30 minutes after drinking a protein shake?

Do you wait 30 minutes after drinking a Protein shake to drink any other liquids?

Just sent an email to my NUT but I'm curious what others do.

Thanks for your input.

Don't know if it was right or wrong but I did not wait. I have not had a shake since about month 2 but do remember still drinking water before and after.

I treat Protein drinks like liquids. Even when they're thick, they go through pretty quickly. You're not drinking them to feel full, but for the nutrients. At least, that's how I understand it.

I do simply because the Protein shakes fill me up so much. I usually have to wait a while before I can hold more liquid.

I don't wait after a protein shake. However, I don't usually want anything for a while after a protein shake, either, so it doesn't come up much.

Wow! Only 3 minutes to drink your Premier protein shake??? I start drinking mine on the way to work (in Los Angeles traffic) and still don't finish by the time I get to the office.

I asked my NUT the same thing, they said no you don't have to when drinking liquids.
