I know that I should not drink 30 minutes before a meal and 30 minutes to an hour after a meal. What about before or after protein shakes? Do they count as a meal or as a drink.

Protein shakes do not count as a meal, so you can drink other fluids without the time restriction.

Thank u!!!

Awesome question!!! Thank you. I’m always thirsty

Thank you..I was wondering myself.

I was told the same thing as James mentioned. Until you get to pureed food, don't worry about when you are drinking. Just drink

At this stage of the program just get as much liquid in as you can, sip all day long. When you get to semi-solid food then it matters.

I went for a doctors appointment today and mentioned this question and the P.A. said you can drink water before the shake but wait 30 min after
