I am 5 days post op and I am able to tolerate all the clear liquids but I am so tired. Does anyone know if I can add protein powder in my broth? Also if I strain Lipton onion soup is that considered clear?

Yes, you can ! Yes, that is also considered clear. U can also try getting some protein bullets, they are liquid. You can get them at Walmart. I purchased Syntax Nectar it is unflavored, you can put it in anything.

I had this problem too. My doctor attributes it to the low calories that we are consuming. Try to get in protein when you can and things should get a little better after you get on full liquids.

I added garlic powder & Mrs. Dash in my broth to give it more flavor & no salt...
