I was told to have clear fluids for 4 days, thick fluids for 4 days, soft foods for 4 days, then onto "normal" foods as soon as possible after that!

It's amazing how each area differs in their pre-op diet, then post op diet.

I was a private patient hun but your right pre and post op eating advice varies so much!

It's very difficult the first few days, but yes, mostly water or soups. Drink huge amounts. It's mostly swelling at this point, no actual restriction so the cool water reduces that a little and you must at all costs stay hydrated.

Also you'll be surprised how little you need to eat. I certainly was.

I did the pre op diet with no problem, had no problem with the post op fluid diet but now I'm a week into 'mushy' food I'm really struggling - had a bagette with my soup today: feel horribly guilty but it was nice
