Question on Liquid Supplements



Recommended Posts

Does one need to take liquid supplements when on the liquid diet or can you use pills, chews or gummies?

Thanks!

Ask your surgeon....there are many different protocols.

Ditto on asking your surgeon's team - it should be in whatever instructions they provide but if not, when in doubt, ask. I never had a liquid diet so the question never came up, but some find chewables or gummies useful early on due to the amount of inflammation they may have in their stomach post op (particularly for things like Calcium that usually come in horse pills.)

I will be asking my surgeon, but am just curious about what others were advised.
