im on day 5 of clear liquid and i am starving! up until today the Protein Shakes have been enough for me but today my so hungry that im in pain *stomach cramping* is it too early to start pureed Soups?

I was only on Clear Liquids 2 days and then went to full liquids, creamy Soups etc. I would suggest checking with your doctor or nutritionist.

I was also on clear liquids for two days, then on to full liquids. Did you get the dates for your diet progression? If you are on clear liquids, what type of Protein Shakes are you drinking?

That depends, when does your doctor say it's ok to have puree'd Soups?

If you're not supposed to have them yet, then no, it's not ok to have them. It's imperative you follow your post op diet exactly to give your body time to heal. Otherwise you're putting your health and band at a big risk.

I know it's hard but this is a temporary phase. Hang in there.

i suppose to start the next step -thicker liquids- in 2 days.

Then wait 2 days and go to thicker liquids. Don't cheat or skip ahead on the steps, it's not worth the risks.

Btw, I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks after surgery then full liquids for 2 weeks after that. It sucks but it can be done.

I was on clear liquid for 2 days and then went to full liquid. Cream of potato Soup was a savior. Everything will be better when you get to that. Stay tough!

I'm on clear liquids for 1 week (just finished) and then full liquids for another 2 weeks. And I'm supposed to only have 1/4 cup of one of the full liquids 6 times a day. So.. 1.5 cups of full liquid total, plus my Water. I'm starving and with only having like 175 calories a day, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to have enough energy to do anything other than sleep!
