Im almost two weeks post op and I HATE YOU, LIQUIDS!!!!!!

[Miss Meow 12]

Don't you get to move to mushies in a few days then? Think how great it will be. Isn't it funny how we all look forward to eating mushies? When before the band just the word sounds disgusting.

We soooo understand! I have always loved Soup but after a month of that stuff I wonder if I'll ever be able to eat it again.

[readytogoforit 172]

[Mck xx 15]

If I had had to do more than a few days of liquids somebody would have gotten hurt! It will be so worth it. You will not only look amazing, you will feel so dang good and proud of yourself. Shopping will again be fun.

I thought I was the only one needing more than liquids!! tomorrow I go to the doctor and he better tell me I can see food again! soft, smooth something more than just liquids!!! I've been on just liquids for 3 weeks and having to cook for my family and sit down and only have broth! I'm not even getting enough cal. I get about 300 almost 400 a day. I can't see why I've only lost 10lbs! and the worse thing is my husband can't understand why I'm crying about it!

Wow, 6 to 7 weeks of liquids? Why so long? I had my post opt visit at 12 days and I was dying. She gave me permission to start soft food that day. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!

You can do it! I know it seems like it's going on forever right now, but every day you are that much closer to being done with it. It does seem like a really long time, but just hold on.

Hugs and prayers <3

[elcee 3,341]

OMG that is forever.

[JustDoIt130 369]

Yah, why so long? That really sux! I wanted to throw up just at the thought of more chicken broth, LOL

I started my pre op diet October 27 and had surgery Nov. 10... I was eating pretty good by Thanksgiving.

wow .... that's a long time on liquids. After surgery i had a few days on liquids, then a few days mushy and then eat what i could tolerate..... Of course i didn't go out and eat a steak, but i did eat soft veggies like cooked carrots, peas and such...

And FYI: Even after all the Soup on the "pre-diet" i still eat soup.... a lot. It's what i can be sure of. Wendy's chili, applebees broccoli Soup, chili's' tortilla soup..... my local diner Crab soup or gumbo (with no rice).....

I thought it was going to be easy to get through the first couple of weeks on liquid, boy was I wrong. I was okay the first week. 2nd week proved to be a challenge. I was given permission to progress to mushies/soft foods...I am thought I would be excited, but am having issues with gas, so I don't have much of an appetite. It really is a process and you have to be patient...my nutritionist told me that as I progress with food it is like introducing food to a baby! My mind tells me I can do one thing, my body is saying something else.

Anyway, good luck. I am entering my 3rd week post op and ot sure how I feel about food right now, mushies or otherwise!

Wow, how many weeks of liquids? Sounds a bit over the top...I hadn't read of anyone on this site being on a liquid diet for so long. I was on liquids for 2 weeks, first week Clear Liquids, second week Protein Shakes and smoothies. Third week soft food and fourth week, normal food. I'd talk to my dietician and doctor about this, just for confirmation.
