Confused About Clear Fluids...

Ok so during post op my first 10 days are supposed to be clear fluids only but unjury is not clear! Can I drink it or am I supposed to drink clear protien? If so, who sells clear protien? Please explain!

GNC sells clear protein. That is what I drank during my liquid stage. The unflavored unjury can be added to your liquids for extra protein. It worked really well in my soups and broth. Just make sure not to get food too hot or the protein will clump up.

My doctor said if you mix your Protein with Water it can be considered clear liquid.

Mine said the same thing, starting day 10 I switch to full liquids, which includes being able to mix my Protein powder with low fat or soy milk.

Though protein powder makes the liquid cloudy it is still considered clear liquid as long as you mix it with water or some other clear liquid like broth.

Really? Sweet! Ok im good then.. Ive been freaking out trying to figure this out.. Saturday is the big day so im a wreck! Lol

My surgeon includes any type of protein drink or protein powder mixed with water in the "clear liquids" phase, even if they aren't clear. You could ask.

I was instructed that you have to be able to see light through it. The unflavored Unjury, strawberry sorbet Unjury and chicken soup Unjury count. I also used Beneprotein which I got at Amazon & some Walgreens have. I also could use the Isopure clear liquid at GNC that is already mixed and in 20 oz glass bottles. I could NOT use any other protein drinks even mixed with water that were not see-through. The chocolate & other flavors of Unjury except the 3 I listed above did NOT count for me. The regular powder Isopure did NOT count for me. I would honestly check with your doctor to see what is approved. My surgeon said those others were NOT approved because they are heavier and have more in them and if there is a leak, they don't want tons of stuff to be leaking out. They also told me to stay away from things with red food coloring the day before surgery on my clear liquid day because it could be mistaken for blood during surgery. Please check with your doctor to know for sure what is allowed!!!
