I am not a dietition, but I would say that your liquid diet should include the protein powder shakes mixed with clear liquid.  I spoke to a dietition today and she suggested mixing the unjury protein powder with a clear liquid such as rasberry surgar free lemonade.  This would be mixed with the Strawberry Sorbet flavor Unjury Protein Shake.

The thought it sounded weird  but she swore it was terrific.  Good luck and take care to get your nutrients during this liquid diet phase and make sure to discuss with your doctor!

 My two week pre-op diet is made up of 100 oz of water a day 5 protein shakes 3 dairy servings and 1 c. raw veggies.  I'd check with your surgeon, they should provide you with written instructions for the diet.  I am using both Unjury and Nectar protein shakes.

 I think protein is required - usually through the shakes...definitely check up on that with your doctor.
