I drink a protein shake in the morning, take my morning vitamins and then usually drink water. It helps me get going for the day. And I am doing great with it. 2 months postop and down 60lbs. Good luck!

Victoria, I am 17 months post-op and I try to wait at least 20 minutes after my protein shake before drinking anything else. I don't know for sure that it is necessary since the reason for waiting is to keep from pushing food through the pouch too quickly and since the shake is liquid, it may go through quicker than food - but to be on the safe side, I wait.
