Can you drink water and a protein shake



Recommended Posts

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...

Hey, thanks for the reply! And I'm so glad liquids can be grouped together; I've been having trouble getting my Water in.

Oh and ya, low-sugar and high-fiber cereal soaked in 1% or skim milk is in my plan that the hospital gave me

Curiouser and curiouser,
I can't have Cereal at all I assumed...
I'm going to ask my NUT about it for sure.

Also ALL liquids count towards water/liquid requirements (as it was explained to me)
Broth, Soup, milk,Popsicles, Protein Shakes, tea,water etc.
Check in with your team for clarity

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
