Protein shakes during Clear Liquid diet

[Bianca08 2]

Hi everyone!

I just joined the forum and have been reading a lot of comments that have helped with all my questions.. I have one of my own and if anyone is able to help I would appreciate it!

So I'm one week post op and working on liquid intake and Clear liquids, I'm confused on Protein liquids. Am I able to have Protein shakes like Premier Protein that I can dilute with Water for more liquidity substance or do I have to stick to clear Liquid Protein like Isopure which I can barely keep down due to taste.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

You should consult with your surgeon or nutritionist, as every plan is different. I was allowed Protein Shakes and drinkable yogurt on day 3 post-op, as I recall, but all my other liquids still had to be clear until I was allowed strained cream Soups around day 7.

Definitely call your NUT anytime you are unclear about your particular program. My surgeon allowed some exceptions during my clear phase, one of which was Premier Protein.< /p>

i would call your nut i know with my program i am on full liquids as soon as i am home but its diffrent for every one

I agree with calling NUT. If Clear Liquids, add unflavored Protein Powder to broth, Water with crystal light or mio drops, and/or Powerade zero (if allowed).

Check with your nut, I was only allowed cleared liquids. I added this one to all my drinks it's unflavored it worked really good. http://www.fortifynutritionals.com/mobile/Product.aspx?id=37536#PhotoSwipe1449152582346

I used the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates during my clear phase. They tasted a lot better to me than the Isopure.< /p>

Thank you all for the feedback, I'm definitely checking in with my Dr. I'm almost done with phase 1 so I'll soon be into high Protein but all suggestions I will use thank you all!
