Can I drink this instead protein shakes I did my surgery 3 days ago I haven’t start my protein shakes yet I’m already having hard time doing liquid stages

Yes, you can drink that. Lots of people who can't tolerate full protien shakes have better luck with the clear.

Try filling up a little one ounce medicine cup and drinking it in ten little sips spaced a minute or more apart. You have to take these tiny little sips all day....but you will get your fluids in this way. Just don't stop sipping. Little teenie sips all day.

If you don't get your fluids in, you will end up in the emergency room with dehydration. Many people do when they are not reading their instructions and following them to the letter after surgery. Even if you can't meet your protein goals right away, make sure to get your fluid goals with water or zero calorie sports drink or whatever you can tolerate. Don't do sugar drinks, you'll get sick.

If you're for real...it's stunning that you've been so poorly prepared by your provider...which is why I asked if you were trolling earlier. I can't imagine my provider giving me so little support and so little understanding of what your post surgical diet needs to be...as you are demonstrating.

If you truly have not been adequately prepared by your team, I apologize. The advice you are seeking...what to do right after your surgery...is advice best given by your provider. Read any papers they sent home immediately. If the information is not there, call their emergency line and ask why you were not prepared.

Wishing you the best.

Let me know if you like the clear protein? I've never tried it.

there is also protein2o water that is pretty good.

I had a hard time with the protein shakes and the clear protein. I was able to drink them but they tasted so sickeningly sweet to me that it was hard to persevere. Fortunately, I’m past all that by now.
