How do you manage post-operative diet?
General stages of post-op diet
  • Clear liquid: minimize stress on GI system, usually for 1-2 days post-sx
  • Full liquid: usually for a few days
  • Soft or pureed diet: may be several days - 1 week
  • Regular diet
Special considerations
  • Nutrition risk assessment completed within 24 hrs and nutrition plan within 48 hrs
  • Oral feeding preferred over parenteral nutrition
  • Short term access: orogastric tube (OGT), nasogastric tube (NG), Dobhoff tube (DHT)
  • Long term access: percutaneous endoscopic gastrotomy (PEG)
