post op liquid diet
I am 6 days out and simply confused on what "FOOD" is? I eat a protein drink 4oz for breakfast, soup or mashed potatoes for lunch and protein drink at night. Is a protein drink food or liquid? I have had jello and pudding. Not doing well with fluids. Everything tastes bad. I love tea with equal.
I am not sure what your dr orders are. But I am trying anything that I do not have to chew.

I don’t think liquids count as food at all they are liquids... Soups are also liquids in my book.
If you’re like me I was on a liquid diet before surgery so by the time my two weeks post op came around I had been on liquids 3 weeks, personally I think I lost my taste buds during that time.
Now I am allowed to eat solid to semi solid foods not my favorite- I would rather drink protein shakes because I know I won’t get sick or hurt for hours.
