I'm really struggling getting my Water in. I think mainly bc of the 30/30 rule. Does the 30/30 apply to my Protein shakes too?

Bobby,

I don't know what the 30/30 rule is. But I know the protein shakes counts toward your liquid intake. Does this help at all?

Yes, thank you!

So what is the 30/30 rule?

No drinking 30 min before or 30 min after you eat.

Now I know what you mean!

It is interesting how Dr.'s have different views. My Dr.'s rule is 30/60 which is hard like you say because it is not like we can chug-a-lug water. Hahaha.

I was informed from a friend of mine that had surgery before me that the 30/30 rule does not apply to your Protein drinks. I was told that its not a wise idea to "wash them down" with Water or another beverage, however it isn't as important to wait the entire 30 minutes like it is after food. I have been making sure to stick to the 30/30 when eating a little something but I don't worry as much when I am having a shake.
