im excited, but a little nervous. my question right now for you wonderful people is this.. what is the best and most cost effective clear liquid protein option for me to try while on my 7 - 10 day clear liquid post op diet? ive read and re read everything they have given me, and i just think instead of eating jello and broth and diluted juices that i would rather have something i know is good for my body. i just figured that having the protein wouldnt hurt anything, but since i am impatient and plan on asking about it in the morning i thought some of you may have some advice and insight for me right now. thanks!!!

thanks for all the feedback! ive been home a couple days now, and id have to say that everything is going good! the first couple days were really just pain medication hazed and i slept most of it while trying to walk around. today i went to walmart with the hubby and kids, took about 3 hours total but i managed to walk the whole time, just took it slow and steady. ended up taking a couple hour nap right after getting home to recoup from it but man, was it nice to get out of the house and do something normal. the clear liquid diet hasnt been terrible, my hubby made an amazing ham and cabbage veggie soup that he strained the broth from for me. i can easily sip on this liquid gold and not be sad, soooo much better than store bought.

i have tried very small amounts of my unjurry protein shake, it seams to be sitting well. i just have a sip or two of it in the morning. makes the best vessel for taking my crushed up prolocec (man is that stuff nasty..) its think enough to carry the powder without dissolving it instantly so i dont have alot of the taste.

Are you sure that the liquids have to be clear? Protein shakes are the way to go. I also went to the Chinese food place and got egg drop soup but strained the eggs out. Delish!

while my surgeon was prepping me for discharge at the hospital he said that i could do protein shakes with skim milk or Water during the fist week, just have to strain it so there are no chunks. i have personally had better luck with the thin liquids on my stomach than the shake, it might also be that its a change of taste thing, im not liking it nearly as much as i did before surgery.
