Dumb Question

[Kime-lou 648]

Okay, I know this is a totally dumb question, but I am going to toss it out anyway.

If you drink a Protein shake for a meal, should you wait to 30 min afterwards to start drinking more Water? The shake is liquid, but it's Liquid Protein.

What do you think? What do you do?

My doctor said yes and I do..but then again I'm brand new at this so others probably know better. Lol

I always do too. I find that Protein Shakes go down as slowly as a regular meal.

I follow Dr O'Briens rules on drinking and he allows his patients to drink while eating but wait one minute after a bite of food. So, I drink after a meal regardless.

Try and see what works for you.

My info was to not drinkk 30 min before and after each "meal" even if it is a shake or replacement so that the stomach understands it is full with food. I have ALWAYS drank Water with every meal so this will be a whole new learning experience for me.

That was not a dumb question at all. I have thought the same thing !! Passed on my daily meal plan I am waiting the 30 min tho . I have need banded since May 20th. Plus this will get me in the habit of doing that . Have a good day
