I'm not sure you can actually get used to them, you will be more than ready for food once you can have it. I did 2 weeks liquids before surgery and pretty much for 7 weeks after because I couldn't get much of anything down from complications. Even now 5 1/2 months later I will not eat Jello, pudding, broth, or popsicles. YUCK!

The reality of the post-op phase hit me too. I've been crying because I just want to eat normally again. I'm sipping Isopure while everyone else is eating- it kind of feels isolating.

I was so excited to get past the physical pain and nausea, and now here I am. The rapid weight loss isn't even making me happy.

This will pass, and we'll be soooo happy in the long run

I'm only 6 days out from surgery, so I am actually kind of scared to move on to mushies. Yogurt does sound divine, though. I'm a fan of Greek yogurt (high in Protein too ).

The next phase (full liquids like milk) should be a little easier to bear. I look forward to having creamy Soups and Protein drinks mixed with milk instead of just Water. I am so tempted to skip this Clear Liquids phase- this clear stuff is starting to make me sick. I was sipping on a bottle of Isopure and I got so upset with it I dumped the rest of the bottle down drain- a complete waste of good money, but I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I'm trying to mix up my Clear Liquids with Jello and broth. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some sugar free popsicles- those should go down nicely.

Whatever it takes, right?
