Just curious, when you start non-clear liquids after surgery...do they have to be bland?

Not necessarily, but I wouldn't go overboard. Your stomach is healing. I stuck with Protein drinks, yogurt, and Water. I could have used crystal light to flavor the water, but I figured that it would be one less thing for my belly to worry about while healing. Im on soft foods now, and I love cooking with spices. Spice and flavoring can also have nutritional value, but watch the salt and the processed flavorings. Just my opinion. I'm new to this, so I could be wrong

You may find plain Water difficult to drink. I know it sounds crazy but many will attest. I did have to flavor mine with crystal light or snapple.

I also used premiere Protein chocolate drinks.

Sip your drinks but do this pretty constantly to get it all in.

Yes I find plain Water difficult to drink. Weird!

I had the opposite and still do. Plain Water or water with a lemon in it works best for me. Also, room temp water especially first thing in the am before your new stomach wakes up.

I still drink room temp water today, it allows me to drink much more of it. I have a hard time with anything that is too cold.

Thank you everyone! I was thinking it was a clear diet afterwards. So many things going through my mind and I want to have the least amount of problems as possible. I know those things can't be planned but I want to do my part on eating right. Thanks again!
