I was sleeved back on Monday and am on clear fluids for another something days and I've been adding in my Protein supplements. I opened my "unflavored" unjury yesterday and tried that...it's okay and all. So, here's my question: What makes a protein supplement okay to be used for clear fluids? I've scanned through older threads on similar topics and find that basically, "if I can still see through it, it is okay" as the consensus, but not "chocolate". Why? What about other protein supplements? I had stocked up on a variety of sample packs of powders and now I'm paranoid to open any of them in case I can't use them! I did open one and when I saw it looked just like the Unjury one, I decided to give it a go and it is yummy! (Jay Rob whey Protein Pina Colada). I do have two chocolate ones, but what makes them not okay to be used for clear fluids? What about my Pomegranate cranberry? Or the Blueberry? What about the two gluten free ones I thought I'd give a go?

Anyway, I was just hoping someone here would actually "know".

Just my thoughts, I have no idea if I am correct, but as long as you are mixing your protein with water or fruit juice I think you're okay. Many RTD protein shakes have milk solids in them, maybe your chocolate powder one does too, I don't know...but I think it's whatever opaque components are in "thin" or "full" liquids that we are supposed to watch early on. Stick with the fruit-flavored ones until thin liquids and I think you're good. I couldn't get protein down until thins, anyway, so you're lucky!

I know you had your surgery a little while back, but IDS New Whey puts out a product that comes in a 3.5 oz tube and has 42 grams of protein per tube. It was a life saver for me - I have done 2 tubes per day and have had no problems with malnutrition at all. Do an internet search for the best prices and know that some places offer free shipping. The more protein you get in the healthier you will be and the more weight you will lose.

Best of luck to you!
