3 Weeks Clear Liquids Unbearable!



Recommended Posts

I feel your pain! Of course I was on 10 days of clears before surgery, plus my surgeon requires 4 weeks of clears post op!! I am 10 days post op with 18 more days until I can start the pureed stage! Hang in there.... this part will be a distant memory soon. :)

I feel tha same wa you do. I am 9 days post op and have 3 more weeks of clear liquids!! O how I was looking forward to having a boiled egg on Easter!!! I am sick of SF Jello. I don't get in enough liquids because I get gassy after 3 sips. I think I am going to try to do 3 Protein Shakes a day and hope that pulls me through untik April 19th!!

3 WEEKS of clears? Woah! I was on one week clear, one week fulls, 1 week mushies and then whatever with caution. I would be going nuts too. It's so weird how different all of the surgeons are with their requirements.

I am so sorry you have to suffer with clear liquids...I admire you for not having cheated before.I am on mushies from today and it makes a huge difference.Phone your dr and tell them they are killing you.Ask...he can only say yes or no.

O,you have lost 5 pounds more than me since surgery...a little reward for your liquids I think.

Good luck.

We basically have the same start weight and goal weight!! When were you sleeved? I was 3/13.

I am two days post-op. It still hurts a little when I drink.I don't think I am supposed to be drinking Protein shakes yet right ?

I'm supposed to be on thick liquids for another week but I cannot stand it anymore. I'm probably the worse patient ever but i'm starting to introduce a few bites of mushies into my day =/ I even had a tiny corner of bread the other day, but I tolerated it fine.

I never even got full/thick liquids!! Clear Liquids to mushies. I get mushies on Tuesday and I am nervous since I havent tried a thing! I did however have a Gatorade and the sugar made my belly feel sick. I have been craving meatballs and sauce for a week now.....I'll be mushing that up real soon hahaha I'm just ready to have the normal level of energy I was once used to again!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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