[jayt1973 2]

What is the correct diet for post op? I three days post op and just want to confirm. My doctor said any liquid diet but everywhere else i read says clear liquid diet. Just want to see everyone elses input.

I was in full liquids from the day I was discharged from the hospital.

As I'm sure you see, every Dr. is different. The right diet for you is the one YOUR Dr. or NUT prescribes.

Thanks all. Appreciate all your feedback. I guess everyone is different. I guess ill toughen out the clear liquids for a couple more days then go to liquid.

Quick question, being new to this forum, what is a nut? Lol. Ive read many post including this one with that acronym.

Nut is a nutritionist. :-)

And I agree, the "correct" post-op diet is the one your doctor gives you!
