Is a Premier Protein Shake considered a clear liquid?

that sounds like a silly question, but my surgeon has the BA protein shakes on the clear list and the PP protein ones are the same color. I am 4 days post op and am beyond tired of the isopure and new whey protein shot things. I'm struggling to get my protein in.

My NUT considers the Celebrate protein shake mixed with only ice or water a clear liquid. I like this shake a lot. Best wishes to you! This time will go by quickly, so just hang in there!

A clear liquid is one that you can see though.  Water is a clear liquid, milk is not.

I agree with Gwen to call your Nut. I was able to add milk/milk based protein shakes after the first week per my Nut because I was only getting in about 300 calories and was feeling too weak.
