Liquid Diet Post Op two days out

I was given a printed out sheet that says I can have chicken broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jell-o, decaffinated coffee, crystal light with double the normal amount of water, apple juice cut with water 50%,water and that's it. From what I've been reading here it seems I am supposed to start the protein shakes too but I was under the impression that I didn't start that till I added pureed foods, which is it now or later? Why can't I have caffinated coffee? I read about sugar free cool whip mixed with jell-o, can I have that now?

So many drs have different regimes for post op. I had surgery 12/13 of this year and my dr had me on protein shakes 2 days post op. All the other stuff you said was on their ok list as well. Mostly liquids then moving to pourable purees on the 4th day and stay on that for 3 weeks then add soft meats like ground lean beef and chicken and deli meat sliced thin for 3-6 weeks. Caffeine causes hunger, can irritate the stomach as well. Not sure on the cool whip - would call your dr or nutrionist.

Thanks for responding to my post I have my next appointment on the 4th so I'll ask about the cool whip then checked my sheet and I start puree today anyway so onward and upward. Congratulations on your weight loss and don't let a little bump in the road get you down just remember it will get better it takes time just like it took time to get here; I can't wait to be on the losing side with you!
