I had RNY on Monday 4/4/16, my surgeons stage one diet is clear liquids with no added sugar. Before surgery I used to occasionally drink Isopure ready to drink clear protein drinks, and Protein2O, and so I just stocked up on those for the first week and a half until my follow up. Well now that I am Post op, these drinks are so so so soooo disgusting [emoji13]

The booklet I was given did specify no protein powders at this stage, but I need some other suggestions for clear liquid protein drinks that are low/no carb!

Syntrax peach nectar worked for me, 23 grams per serving. Tastes like a orange Julius only peach. You can add Water until you get consistency you like. I also didn't like the isopure at 1st but watered down with half sugar free Powerade helped me get it down

I have a sample of that, is syntrax considered clear? I had only tried one before surgery, and it was cloudy.

My doctor was ok with it since it was not milk based

I was only on clear liquids for 2 days and then any liquids for another week before I started the pureed phase. Can't you have sugar free jello, regular protein shakes, broths etc. I would ask the doc and see if those would be okay! Good-luck

Yeah I can have broth and sugar free jello, but everything has to be clear, so regular protein is not allowed. I have to get my protein in through special clear protein drinks
