Do you wait 30 minutes after drinking a protein shake?



Recommended Posts

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.

Thank you all for your comments.

I'm with you both Busymomof3 and NMJG...I'm typically not hungry after a Protein shake but I still try to sip to get in a some fluids.

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.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
