                                Following Zenker's diverticulum surgery, most patients begin their dietary recovery with a liquid diet to allow the surgical site to heal. This specialized diet is a critical first step, transitioning from clear liquids to a full liquid menu before gradually advancing to softer foods over the course of several weeks. Adherence to this plan is essential for preventing complications and ensuring a successful recovery.
