I would also like to add that while my diet isn't completely liquid, even the foods that I do eat are high in liquid content. Fruit like watermelon is high in water content. Here is an article from the internet regarding foods high in water content, https://oureverydaylife.com/286640-list-of-water-rich-foods.html
Do you have soups, etc.?

@hopeful33250 , so far I haven't found a doctor who can answer my questions--that's why I'm here! 🙂 My diet at present consists mostly of juices, smoothies, soups, tofu, ice cream/popcicles, fruit, and gluten-free bread that I try to chew really well. (I seem to have a sensitivity to gluten, and I think it might make the sbo situation worse). The only real meal I eat is in the morning. I will keep your good advice to try to eat "watery" foods as much as possible too!
The problem is that when I get an obstruction even water doesn't seem to get through. If I have anything at all in my stomach when an obstruction starts, it's a bad situation (as I'm sure you all know!). So I try to eat stuff that can be digested quickly, to lessen the possibility that anything will get stuck behind an obstruction before I realize one is starting.
