Can you drink water and a protein shake

Do you have to wait 30 mins before and after having a protein shake? I just doubt so many things; I know you can have milk with cereal so I was wondering about shakes and water. I feel like the water will flush out the protein but doesn't a protein shake have water in it. But then I think the water will still flush it out or dilute it.

I dunno. I'm just so unsure.

As always check with your team,
But liquid can generally be grouped together without a break in between (water, tea, coffee, poweraid, protein shakes, milk, etc.)
The full liquid diet is different ( jello, pudding, etc) and is considered semisolids so you have to wait (generally, varies according to plan, follow your plan)

Is milk and cereal on your plan? I'm curious...
