Hi I am starting my 2 days of clear liquids and protein shakes and was wondering what besides water can I drink? Any Ideas? and  I am guessing any protein shakes will work since I haven't seen any clear ones yet.

Protein shakes don't count as clear liquids. They count separately. Clear liquids include water, Crystal Lite, decaffeinated tea, broth, sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello. Caffeine and carbonation should be avoided. Good Luck!
Blessings and Best Wishes! Shelly

It depends on your dr to be honest.  I was allowed to have my protein shakes all the way up to surgery.  I did jello, popsicles, crystal light, broth etc...

Right, that's what I meant. The protein shakes just didn't count toward the fluid total. Your surgeon or dietician should tell you the specifics for you regarding your protein shakes. Good luck with your liquid diet.
