I'm pre op, but curious. My surgeon does 1st week liquids, 3 weeks full liquids and after that soft foods. What are considered "full Liquids"?

-Carnation Instant Essentials ready to drink, no added sugar

-Protein shakes

Other fluids that are acceptable for snacks:

-broth

-Sugar free, Jell-o; sugar free popsicles; sugar free puddings

-sugar free hot chocolate, mixed with Water or low fat milk

-1% or skim milk

-V-8 juice

This is the list my Nut gave me at the pre-op appt.

It was explained to me as anything on the clear list, plus cream soups, milk, yogurt, sugar free pudding, cream of wheat, sugar free ice pops.

I'm on full liquids right now, was sleeved 9/14/12 and my list is anything that was on clear liquids, plus protein shakes and creamy strained soups and skim milk. I'm on full liquids for 2 weeks and then move to pureed.

Thanks everyone!!
