Is it possible you misunderstood the doctor's orders? I can't see any reason your doc would want a clear liquids diet before surgery, except perhaps the day before the surgery. Some folks do a week or two of liquids leading up to surgery, in that case it would be full liquids which would include protein shakes etc. I'd double-check with your doc.
Clear liquids are things like water (duh!), most flavored waters (Crystal Lite etc.), broth/boullion, Jello, no-pulp fruit juice. Coffee and tea are usually considered clear liquids as well. More info here.

I asked a similar question from my doc before surgery because the protein powder mix they wanted me to buy was expensive and I already had one at home that my husband had purchased. I brought the mix from home to show the doctor to make sure it had the right amount of nutrients and they said okay.
Read the labels and compare but make sure its okay with your doc. He probably wants you on this for the liver-cleansing effect before surgery and it needs to have enough of the right ingredients.
