Re: Clear liquid diet?? - soy milk ()

[Guest guest]

Sorry, I knew there was no lactose in soy milk I just worded it

wrong I guess=) I meant maybe it is okay to drink soy milk as

a " clear " liquid ~ it shouldn't upset your stomach like milk, but

maybe it isn't watery enough??

Congratulations on going veg=) I have been a vegetarian since I was

10 actually so I have been through all the trials and tribulations ~

if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

As far as soy milk goes, I drink my tea black but I know most soy

milk curdles when you add it to tea/coffee ~ it usually mixes quite

well if you heat it up in the microwave first=) And experiment with

different brands for flavour ~ I like " So Nice " the best.

The curdling I discovered by accident but just thought maybe it was

not fresh soy milk! We make our own now, but I was using " Silk " brand

which I liked. I'll try the microwave method next time and see. I

like a variety of tea, the only one I drink black is green tea.

I don't know the answer about whether soy milk is considered a clear

liquid, maybe the hospital or your surgeon can answer that.

Actually my husband had most of the questions about vegetarianism, we

found an excellent book called " Becoming Vegetarian " (written by a

couple of Canadian nutritionists) which answered his main ones about

amino acids and other nutrition questions. But thanks for the offer!
