the first thing that comes to mind when someone says "liquid diet" is prep. haha. you can only have clear fluids before and such.....yeah, i dunno. double check with your doctor if you can! i hope you're feeling better, kyi!!

a liquid diet could also be something like Ensure/ sustagen or other similar available from pharmacies. Usually they try this unless there is a real need for an enteral diet, ie strictures.
