Suggestions needed for liquid diet

I started my liquid diet today. Do any of you have a list of what is considered liquid? I mean I could liquify pizza in the blender, so I know it can't be just anything... tonight I had diet pudding, ice cubes, 1% milk blended up into a shake... does that count as a liquid?? Shannon in WI

Your surgeon should have given you more specific instructions. I was blessed not to have had a liquid diet before surgery. But I'm now a week post-op and I'm SICK of the clear liquids! (I presume you can have full liquids.) You really should check with your surgeon. Good luck with your journey!

Hello Shannon I had to do a 5 day liquid diet prior to my surgery and my surgeon gave us a list of what we can have. My list looked like: sugar-free kool-aid, crystal ligh****er, apple or grape juice, gatorade, chicken or beef broth, decaf coffe or tea, and of course protein shakes until 2 days prior because I had to do a 2 day bowel prep. During my 2 day bowel prep I could have everything on the list except protein drinks. But you could be different. Maybe you could call your clinic and find out? Stacy 346/323/?

@Liquified pizza! For someone who is on my second week of clear liquids post op even that sounds good now! lol My advice is to call your surgeon and ask for a specific list! This way you will KNOW that you met their requirements! Good luck hun hugsssss ~Krista 11 days post op
