Re: Clear liquid diet?? How long? ()

January 14, 2005

oh i'm sure the hospital will heat it up for you! i would call and ask

them. the kit was actually pretty useless, it was a pre-wrapped thing

with a bowl, a tray, and a pitcher all in a tub. and of course the

suringe with a rubber tip. i would ask your OS at your next

appointment about the diet you will be on, as it sounds like other

people were not on a strictly liquid diet. and contact the hospital

about heating up the broth! you can make it (buy it) ahead of time,

and i'm thinking you might get really sick of only juice for however long!
