I know we are not supposed to drink Water 30 min prior to or after eating....does this count with liquid diet. Ex. if I have Soup, Protein shake or cottage cheese for a meal?

Yes, because everything fills you up after surgery so you have to make room for those 4 sips of liquid. Man, this does take some getting use to. Im only 1 week post op and i forget and take a sip and i cant get anything else in

I was wondering this too. I've been really trying to push my Protein shakes now and it takes me a good almost 2 hours to get 10oz in if im careful. Im only like 9 days out tho. They are not good and i always want to wash down the last sip with Water.

Yes wait 30 mins the best way for me is when I eat I won't have nothing to drink near me, I eat and that's it until 30-40 mins later I get something to drink if there's room yet. Please wait , you wouldn't want to feel that full feeling and having to bring everything back up. And at @Torriluv87: yes don't drink Water after you just had your Protein shake, instead brush your teeth and tongue and gargling after will help you. Best of luck ladies. I am a month out and experienced it all and figured it all out as you would as well
