Hi I'm 2 weeks post op. I was just wondering if anybody's doctor told them not to have red fluids. In beginning? Why is that? And is it safe now that I'm 2 weeks post op? Thanks

It might be in case of vomiting or diarrhea - the color would appear to be blood and concerning.

I was never told that and I drunk crystal light cherry pomegranate daily lol

Grrr iPad autocorrect *drink

I was def told not to drink anything red for awhile pre and post op.

My surgeon didn't have any restrictions on the color of Clear liquids.

If your surgeon or NUT give you an instruction you don't understand, it is perfectly ok to ask why or for clarification until you understand.

But red Jello is the only kind worth eating. The others are all nasty.

Red dye in your food makes it hard to tell if there is any blood in your vomit or feces. It's not going to hurt you, but it could scare you to see red stuff coming up.
