Madigan Hospital post-op diet

[RevisionReally 3]

I have a surgery date for July 2nd. I met with my surgeon today, but we didn't get into very many details. Can anyone tell me what to expect post-op. I am especially interested in diet because I'd like to prepare some things for the freezer. If it makes a difference, it is with Dr. Carter. Thanks!

It will all depend on your surgeons instructions. Everyone is different.

For 2 weeks post I could have broth. Strained cream Soups, popcicles, Water, crystal lite or s.f. Drink mix, strained yogurt..no chunks and my Protein Drinks.< /p>

Check with the surgeons office to see if there is a nut you could meet with

Thanks Mousemom. This is all happening pretty quickly. I saw the surgeon for the first time today. I was expecting a long process, but found myself walking out of the hospital with a surgery date 5 weeks out. I have a pre-op appointment one week before surgery where I will find out more information. As a planner, I'd like to have some of this figured out earlier. I guess I should call the office tomorrow and see if I can get a bit more information.
