protein and water

I have recently started drinking protein shakes again. Do you drink water right after drinking a protein shake or do you wait like after eating? Thanks Amanda

If it's a thick shake, I wait for a while. If it's thin, I don't. No rational for that, just the way I do it.

Amanda I don't wait before or after a shake to drink water. Since the shake is liquid it doesn't stay in the pouch long, same as water. The protein is absorbed in the intestines. I do however wait 30 minutes before and after a meal to drink liquids so the food remains in the pouch longer. Dana
