That would be something you need to ask your doctor.

Did they not send you home w/ a list of specific foods you can have or examples ?

Did they say FULL liquids. Because full liquids is not mashed potatoes.

Full liquids means anything you can suck through a straw . But if you do not know , they did not send a list then you need to call your docs office ! Every doc is different in what they allow

My nutritionist gave us these guidelines:

Protein Drink (Ultra Meal or Bariatric Essentials)

Water

broth (low sodium)

Diluted juice

sugar free Jell-O

sugar free Popsicles

Crystal Light

Skim Milk

Hope that helps!

OOPS! Forgot to add cream Soups. A lot of people have recommended the soups on the go. Easy to warm up and sip from the cup.

This is why its important to ask YOUR doc. My doc did not allow puddings. its not a liquid or yougurts. So when in doubt ask your doc.

Colton is correct, each doctor has his own set of rules. Please contact your surgeon's office. If he does not have a list, then ask what can you have.
