Can ya'll tell me how long you were on clear, full, liquids following surgery. I am suppose to be on clear liquids for 2 weeks post op and then according to the book I was given by my doc, its on to the mushy stage. I am really craving some pudding.

not sure about others, but I was on clear liquids for 2 days after, then "full liquid" which includes pudding, jello, cream soups, milk, and the protein drinks. I thought it strange that they considered pudding and jello a "liquid"!

Hey,

My doctor wants clears for 2 weeks, full liquids like creamy soups and yougurt for 2 weeks, then 2 weeks of mushies. I only made it on clears for 9 days because I was feeling so weak. The full liquids are alot better but I'm really looking forward to chewing again!

I am on postop day 2 I had to do clear liquids yesterday and then starting today full liquids x10 days then to mushies x10 days....I feel like ass today though so I havent really gotten past broth...I'm REALLY sore and just dont feel like eating....Hope this goes away soon

Hey,

For those of you about to go on clears, the chicken broth in the carton tastes so much better than the kind in a can, no tinny taste!

I know how you feel. I am post op day 4 and still feeling bad. LOTS of gas-both kinds and am blowing up like a balloon-UGH. Also nausea off and on and gagging on liquids now-I can get them down but the taste is bothering me. I too hope this gets better soon.

Yeah--pain is better today I had a LOT of gas yesterday and since "its gone" I feel a lot better....thank God no nausea but occassionaly I get this sensation of something pulling up in my throat? It's not after drinking...its usually after getting up or moving?? It feels weird...like food is stuck in my throat but then it goes away...WHAT is that???
