liquid diet confusion

i am a little confused about the full liquid diet... am i supposed to drink the allowed liuids all day or do i have to be on a 3 meals a day diet? i mean i know we have to sip water all day long.

i am having protein shakes and soups and water mostly... so should i be having shakes or soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner and drink water in between or do i sip soup and shake all day long????

To piggy back off your question, I am at the 2 day pre-op liquid diet and I wanted to know if Isopure Vanilla (with 8oz water) considered a clear liquid?
