Need 2 week Liquid Diet assistance
Hello all,
I had surgery on Monday and am currently on two weeks of liquids. I plan on calling my NUT tomorrow for clarification, but am hoping you guys could also assist.
My surgeons dietary guidelines are linked below. My question is if you were allowed pureed soups during this phase? Or is it clear liquids only? Nowhere on their guidelines does it say clear liquids only that I can see, but then then next phase is soft foods.
I am easily getting in my liquids and protein. Just curious what your guidelines were... Thanks!

This is not clear liquids - it includes nsa carnation instant breakfast, tomato soup, protein drinks, etc.
However, I don't think it includes pureed anything. It doesn't say pureed anything.
It looks more like full liquids, although I don't see yogurt on it. But it looks like your plan goes from full liquids to soft foods and skips pureeds.

I was going to put a separate post about the NUT classification but since you brought it up: When I called by Dietitian a Nutritionist she got very offended and said that a Nutritionist doesn't necessarily have any qualifications and you or I could begin practicing as a NUT tomorrow without any formal training where as a Dietitian is someone with an actual degree and accreditation. Now I am Cedars Sinai so I know I am getting top of the lien but I assume that most of you out there have Dietitians as well and not NUTS. Correct me if I am wrong. I think I will post this separately as well.
