pre-op diet ?

I am scheduled for 27th...have been on 2 weeks of high protein lo carb diet.  the last 2 days are supposed to be clear liquids - but in my paperwork it talks about broth, crystal light, sugar free jello and protein drinks.  How is a protein drink see through - except for like the isopure bottled stuff?  can I drink regular protein drinks?  Wondering what you guys are doing??

I bought some unflavored protein powder from Walmart. Maybe that would work if you added it to a clear liquid like crystal light, broth or low cal juice. Maybe they want you to do regular protein drinks until 2 days pre-op. I am on 10 days of protein shakes 3x  a day and one small meal of 3 oz. protein, whole grain carb and vegetable. I don't know if I will be on clear liquids pre-o*****t. I go in Monday morning for my pre-op appt. and I'm sure they will tell me then. Good luck with your surgery.

Protein drinks are the exception to the clear liquids.  You can make them with the Hood Calorie Countdown milk or water and that'll be fine.  Just don't mix in any fruit.

I ended up doing no shakes and all clear liquids for the last 2 days.  I wanted to be cleaned out for the surgery.

Yes, protein shakes are the exception.  I asked my NUT the same question because her instructions said no dairy but most of my shakes are mixed with FF Lactaid milk.  She said that was okay.
