4 days out need help

[faithlove 25]

I'm on my 4th day post op. Dr said I can now do full liquid diet. What's the difference? What can I eat besides broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello and Protein Shakes? TIA

Check to see if they gave you a list--I was given detailed paperwork on post-op diet phases. Probably, however, you can have yogurt and cream Soups and sugar-free pudding. And oh, so many Protein Shakes . . .

Clear liquid diets consist of see-though, Clear Liquids (read: clear juice without pulp, Water, broth, Jello, tea, etc).

Full liquid diets consist of liquids you cannot see through (read: milk, shakes, strained Soups, yogurt, pudding, gravies, thinned oatmeal, thinned cream of wheat, sherbet).

Congratulations on your surgery! You might find more answers on the Post-Op forum. Good luck!

I am 5 days out and on a clear liquid diet. But having to get 80g of Protein a day and can only do 30ml every 15 min., I can only do protein all day and not meeting that goal of 80g. Nurse say we are awake 16 hours a day, that's some people, I'm on pain management and have been for years, so I sleep more on my medicine. But enjoy what ever you can get in, I'm only on protein.
