Hahaha! Girl, I already hound my poor lady over at the surgeon's office with insurance related stuff LOL I figure here, I'll get unfiltered, real life answers.

So if you mix Protein Powder into Water, does it slide right through without your body absorbing the Protein? Is it better mixed with fair life milk or doesn't that slide through too? Can we ever eat Soup again or does the broth slip all the soup bits right on out? I'll ask at my next appt but there are so many different answers and different nutritionist opinions.

Good questions that I'd love to hear the answers to as well

Great question & great answers...I really struggle with the whole 'not drinking while eating' thing, However, after reading this post, I'm committed to doing better with it.

Thanks to all that replied.

I am taking it all in. Every since I can remember when we sat down to eat, you had something to drink. 51 year habits are very hard to break. I am still in the full liquid diet stage. Christmas Eve I get to graduate to purees. Looking forward to it. [emoji3] I have not used a straw since the day before surgery and try my best to get my Protein and Water in everyday. Thank you all for sharing. Every little bit is something to learn from.

I was told that the Fluid washes away the nutrients you are getting from the food so it’s best to drink apart from eating 99% of the time. But if I’m eating Mexican or something I’m gonna take a sip or two of Water.< br />
