ANY post-op sollid foods in liquid stage?

In the liquid diet recipes, they mentioned pickles for pre-op. Is this allowed post-op??? I LOVE pickles and am hating Soup.

Each doctor is different, so you really need to check with your doctor/nutritionist. Opinions from people here can't really answer your question. Having said that, I will offer an opinion. I do not believe that pickles qualify as a "liquid." If you are on a liquid post op diet, which I think everyone is for a while after surgery, I do not believe pickles fit the bill.

Also, just from my own personal perspective, I would find it sort of tough to eat only pickles, even if they were allowed.

Maybe you want to think about a compromise, and try Pickle Soup?

I appreciate the comment. I doubt it as well, but was curious since it was allowed in some pre-op diets. I think more than anything the doc is worried about solids moving my band.
