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.

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
