My surgery is in 2 weeks and I am a little worried about the first week of the clear liquid diet. How do you get in enough protein? Would anyone like to share their liquid diet stories?

it really all depends on your surgeon...mine had me on protein shakes as well as the broths and stuff..but i would also put protein in the broths...so i didn't have a problem with that...if your not allowed to do that then i would suggest drinking a lot of milk...and extra vitamins!

my surgeon had me drink protein shakes, but I also found these things called Liquid Protein, it's like a long test tube and its all protein (42g) in one shot. I found them at GNC...but CVS and Walmart have them too.

I wasn't on any protein shakes the first week. They didn't clear me for that until day 7. The only thing other than broths was Carnation instant breakfast to get some of my nutrition the first week. But it is no where near enough. So if that is what your surgeon is going to do, be prepared to be weak and tired that first week. Once I was able to start my protein I felt SOOOO much better.
