I am no expert but wanted to ask if you are getting enough Protein?

Hi-

That's a pretty long liquid phase. You should be able to move to full liquids somewhere around day 7 through 10. That will allow you to add milk, soymilk, cream Soup, drinkable yougurt (strained), and Protein shakes so you can get the necesary Protein and some extra calories. Make sure you are drinking a lot of fluids. Also, in the clear stage, a lot of us ate sugar free popsicles.

You shouldn't expect to drink more that .25 cup or 2 ounces of creamy full liquid at a time and it may take you 20 minutes to get it down - the tummy is swollen and will take time to accept new textures. Go slowly and if one of the new things doesn't agree with you, try something else. You'll feel better when you get more calories in.

ALso, you may want to start your chewable Vitamins - multi Vitamin and sublingual B Vitamins will help. CHeck with your doctor.

I know I was looking very pale through the second week.

Good luck!

Get to the doctor, NOW!!

If indeed you are yellow that indicated jaundice and that means liver problems.

Also, are you telling us you are on a strict liquid POST-OP diet for 30 days? There is no reason for that, you should graduate to heavier liquids, mushies then small amounts of soft solid food. Make sure you are doing what your doctor has requested and not just what you think you need.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
