How long should you be on your liquids only diet?

Are you allowed smoothies?

Due to the swelling, I will be on “liquids only” for a month. At this time, I can’t have anything thick. Smoothies, at this time are considered too thick for me. I should be able to have smoothies and milkshakes beginning in Week 3. I’ll be having more x-rays then and if all goes well, we’ll introduce things like smoothies, milkshakes and jello.

By Week 4, we’ll hopefully, put together a food plan since putting me back on my regular diet right away could be overwhelming.

I had a few sips of water this evening.
 
Keeping you and your dear Mama in my thoughts and prayers, Lily. ❤️

Praying that your recovery goes as smoothly as possible.
 
For our dinner tonight we had some beef smoked sausage with some mayo. potato salad and mayo. macaroni salad. We had some challah bread to go with it, and some strawberry cake for dessert.
 
So far, so good. I’m sleeping a lot and doing laundry when necessary. One or two loads a day rather than a full day of laundry.

The day after we got home, it about killed me making Mama’s breakfast since the pharmacy didn’t have my pain meds ready. Once we got them, things were easier.

Just had a bottle of Boost. Don’t feel like drinking anything. Having to force myself.

In 3 hrs, I’ll take my pain meds with a few sips of water. I should be taking the meds every 4 hrs but only had a 7 day supply of pills so try to take them every 12 hrs. That way, my evening dose gets me through the night. If I’m still in pain when these run out, I’ll see if he’ll give me another week’s worth. After that, the pain should be gone.
 
Having a Route44 ice tea from Sonic. It’ll last me the rest of the day.

And I’ve bought a sippy cup for the liquids that don’t take much to make a serving (like my bone broth).

Am having our groceries delivered this week. Hopefully, I’ll be able to go shopping myself next week.

I’m not hungry or thirsty. Have to force myself to drink all the liquids I was looking forward to having after my surgery. Yet I was dreaming about pancakes and maple syrup this morning. Weird. I only have 🥞 on weekends.

Mama had an All American 🌭 from Sonic. It smelled so good. (Being able to smell the food satisfies me.)
 
I ate an orange. I then heated up some water and put the peels in. I’m still drinking that.
