Hey everyone. I am 3 days post op and am doing great. I'm not hungry at all. My surgeon required a two week liquid diet after surgery. I'm following this but was wondering what everyone else had to drink on their liquid diet.

Hey everyone. I am 3 days post op and am doing great. I'm not hungry at all. My surgeon required a two week liquid diet after surgery. I'm following this but was wondering what everyone else had to drink on their liquid diet.
My liquid diet is for 2 weeks before surgery and 4 weeks after. Then 2 weeks of pureed. Next will be 2 weeks of soft. Then finally a fully "chewed" reg diet.
I am currently on week 3 of the post-op liquid diet.
I have protein shakes (of course), puréed soups with added protein, flavored and plain water and occasionally diluted white grape juice.
My doc also required 2 weeks of liquid after surgery. I did broth, herbal teas, iArizona diet iced tea, and jello.
Something else to add is sugar-free popsicles.
my doctor recommends 2 weeks clear liquid 2 weeks full liquid then 2 weeks pureed. I'm on clears and have SF jello, SF popsicles, SF tea, chicken broth and water.... boring im ready for stage 2
I only had to do two days of clear liquids And the rest of the two weeks of liquids I can have full liquids. After this ill have two weeks of puréed and then 2-4 weeks of soft. The full liquid diet is boring to me lol but it will be worth it.
I have had 2 days clear liquids, then add shakes, skim milk, pureed soups,etc for 2 weeks, then mushy/soft for 2 weeks then, "knock yourself out" very slowly, 1 food at a time.
Oh also diluted clear fruit juices (apple & grape) and diluted gatorade.
