Can I have protein powder on clear liquids?

Today was day 1 of clear liquids for Monday's surgery.  Can I add unflavored protein powder to my yogurt and broth? I'm thinking the protein will keep me from getting hungry. The doc said no protein drinks because they are too thick and he wants me to be cleared out.

Thanks, Emily

You should probably call your surgeon's office to ask first.  My "clear" liquid diet included protein drinks.

I am no expert, but I didn't know clear diets included milk products like yogurt. May want to check that too. What an Easter present!!! Congratulations on your date. T

thanks, I doubled checked and light yogurt is the only 'food' on the list. I did email the nut and she said it was okay for the protein powder. Thanks!

Since when is yogurt a clear liquid?

If you genuinely need to be on a clear liquid diet, I'd say no.  Can't see through it = not clear.  And that includes yogurt, too.

There are some clear proteins out there...the bullets/protein shots.

The isopure protein drinks are clear...if you can stomach them.  Personally I can't...but I can't stomach most protein powder based drinks either.  I'm extremely texture sensitive and the clear isopure protein drinks have chunks, yes chunks, of protein that you have to swallow....and I just can't do it.  But....just saying, if you need clear protein, you could give those a try.
