Right now I am currently on the full liquid diet. I am pretty sure

of what I can eat but did have a question about oatmeal and grits. Are these allowed during this time or does that come

later?

Hi Carmen,

Every doctor is different, but I can tell you that my doc's "full liquid" diet did include oatmeal. I imagine that grits would be considered OK as well, but that dish isn't as common up here so it wasn't mentioned.

I think oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, etc. would all be ok if they were made rather thin and not too thick.

Hi All,

What do you mean by the term "full liquid"? I am a week post op and was on clear liquids for 2 days and according to my doctor's instructions I am now allowed only pureed food (I thin it with liquid) for the next 3 weeks. Is my pureed food the same as what you refer to as "full liquid"? Thanks.
