What Is a Liquid Diet?

A liquid diet means only liquids, or foods that become liquid at room temperature, are allowed.

This is usually a temporary order your clients will have just before certain procedures or just after a surgery.

A client on a “clear liquid” diet can have juice, water, broth, popsicles, and Jell-o.  If the order reads, “full liquid” diet, then the client can add milk, ice cream, and creamy soups.
