    This transitional diet is designed for patients after colorectal or other surgeries who have nausea or are just beginning to eat orally after not being allowed to eat. It consists of foods and beverages that research has shown to be tolerable after surgery. The goal is to provide more nutrition than a clear liquid diet until the patient can tolerate a regular diet based on their condition. While nutrient content can vary, this diet is meant to be used short term until the patient can move to a regular diet. Sample menus are provided.

    Transitional Diet

    How to order the diet: Diet order entered as Transitional. Description: This diet is designed to be used after colorectal and other types of surgeries, and indicated in patients who have nausea or are just beginning to take an oral diet after a prolonged period NPO, prior to advancing to regular diet. It consists of patient and research-reported tolerable foods and beverages after surgery and is more nutritionally adequate than the traditionally used clear liquid diet. Once the patient demonstrates tolerance to this diet, their diet can be advanced to a regular diet or another therapeutic diet based on the patients clinical condition. Nutritional Adequacy: See attached summary. The Transitional Diet nutritional adequacy varies significantly based on the items selected by patients. The nutrient content can be inadequate to meet DRIs but this diet is meant to be used for a short period of time.
