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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
