Collagen for added protein

Has anyone added collagen to their clear liquid diet (add to broth) post op and had success with the added protein?

    Collagen isn’t considered a complete protein as it doesn’t contain all the necessary amino acids. Check with your dietician to be sure. They may consider it a bonus protein but not part of your goal.

  • My doctors advised against counting as part of protein count.

(I do this with my fluids - what I drink when I take my meds, the broth in chunky soups, etc. aren’t counted to my goal just bonus.)

Better to add unflavoured protein powder to soups, milk, shakes, yoghurt, etc. if you want to increase your protein intake.
