Clear protein drinks on Guelph post-op diet?
I'm going to ask this at the surgeon appointment this afternoon, but I was curious if anyone else knows if clear protein drinks are acceptable in the 2 weeks of clear fluids after surgery at the Guelph clinic.
It seems to me that if protein is essential for healing, it would make sense to ingest some during that first 2 weeks.
The only other sources of protein would be the tiny amount in jello (1g), knox gelatin (2 g) or broth (2g) per serving. In contrast, the Isopure clear protein drinks have about 15g per 1 cup serving.
Any input is welcome!
Thanks,
Sharon
