Protein Drink Question

I have to start my preop full and clear liquid diet next weekend and I was wondering if we're allowed to have protein drinks mixed with water when we are on clear liquids or full liquids? Salina

According to Cori handbook you would start protein drinks when you go to full liquid diet (approx. day seven after surgery). "Full liquids consist of all liquids and seom easily digested solids. These foods provede more calories, as well as protein." Samples of Full Liquid diet are no sugar added, nonfat yogurt low sodium cream or broth based soup s.f. pudding s.f. custard no sugar added frozen yogurt low fat cottage cheese no sugar added applesauce milk protein drinks protein smoothies sugar free carnation instant breakfast Best of wishes on your upcoming surgery!!!!!!
