Confused about post-op week 1

[Sara Ann 0]

I had my sleeve done on 3/21 and was told to be on liquids until I see my doctor for my post-op visit on 3/30. I am super confused because the packet given to me by my NUT says "Water, Jello, broth" with no Protein shakes (Not sure I can get one down right now anyway), but the handbook given to me by my coordinator says that I am supposed to have "4 cups Protein Drink, 2 cups 1% milk and 2 cups of puree & strained low fat soup"

I didn't receive anything from my surgeon about what to have after surgery, he just told me to stay on liquids.< /p>

I am so confused! What did everyone do for their first week?

There are Clear Liquids (Jello, broth, water) fluids you can "see through".

Then there are full liquids which include milk, low fat cream Soup, yoghurt and all Clear Liquids.< /p>

You may want to contact your doctors office and have him clarify if it is to only be clear liquids or was he meaning full liquids.

I was on clear liquids for the first 10 days post op. That is Dr. Aceves post op diet. I got unflavored Protein Powder and put it in anything I liked that was SF. Hawaiian punch, Crystal Light, etc plus broth sf Jello and sf popsicles.

I just tried to make some miso a little while ago and it tasted AWFUL!!! I used to love the stuff and I had pre-approval for it as a clear liquid. Maybe some of you will like it, but grrr....I guess I don't anymore. At least not for now.

I was told to aim for 64oz of zero calorie (no carbonation) fluids and three Protein shakes a day.

It took a week but now I'm able to take that in with no issues.

I am on full liquids for the first 3 weeks. Not necessarily clear ones. I do drink Protein Shakes, eat cream Soups (strained) and Jello. But every dr. has their own post-op rules, so call them and ask what they want you to do.
