Does Sherbert fall into the liquid diet?

[jenkbacon 49]

I'm 3 days post-op and I'm having a hard time keeping up on my Fluid intake. Does anybody know if Sherbert falls into the liquid post-op diet?

I don't see why not. It won't count as a Water, it's high in sugar, has almost no Protein and zero nutritional value but I don't see why you can't eat it.

Not your best choice, not even a good choice or sort of ok choice, but it's a choice.

Yes it is a liquid but I was strictly sugar free post op. Try sugar free ice pops or sugar free italian ice.

No Sherbert!!!! Its not sugar free and has no Protein value.

Thanks guys. I tried the sugar free Popsicles. Those are good. I'm struggling with broth. It just tastes off to me. Crystal light has been going down okay. I'm just trying to come up with ideas for fluids. Thanks again for the input!

Gatorade/water 50-50 mix. Approved by my NP. Helped a lot.

That's a really good idea. I will try that. Thank you.

So take a bunch of Dixie cups, the 2ounce size. Line them up on your counter, 16 of them as you can reuse a few times. Fill and drink one every 15 minutes. Repeat the line. Repeat the line. Repeat the line. Done.
