 Hi All,
Hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year so far!!  I am 3 days post op, am on full liquid diet.  I have a question about the "schedule" I received as far as eating.  Basically there is a plan that says eat 1/4 cup a food at 8:00, then start sipping fluids, then at 9:00 have 4 ounces protein supplement, continue to sip fluids until 11:00, at 11:30 eat another 1/4 cup of food.........you get the idea.
Well, here is where I am confused.....I am on full liquids.....everything that goes in my mouth is liquids!!  Do I still follow this schedule??  Or is this for when I start eating mushy foods?  It makes more sense.  Please, someone who has the answer, let me know.
Thanks!!
Marie

Marie,
I also have that schedule.  I think thats for when we start to eat.  I have been just eating as I can.  I start my day with s/f carnation instant breakfast and extra scoop of unflav protien.  Then I have isopure and then later I have a brothy soup with protien added to it.  I get liquids and protien.

I did try to eat today.  I a soft scrambeld egg w/some mild taco sauce and a dab of light sour cream.  I have been on liquids for over 4 weeks!  It was time.  I haven't had any energy and tried it and I have done ok so far.  I ate it slow and so far I'm doing ok.  I'm still careful but I feel pretty full right now.  But I feel better then I have since surgery.

I hope this helps some!  Oh, I also have some s/f jello that helps with liquids too.

 Thanks, Kim, 
That is what I have been doing, and kind of what I thought since we can have full liquids 'round the clock.  I think I am doing okay....haven't had any nausea or anything.
