BlackBerryJuice 349 Posted April 14, 2012 Everybody has different diets, it sounds like yours is one extreme, whereas the 1 month of liquids is the other. Most of us here were on a post-op diet that was either 7 or 10 days of Clear Liquids followed by 7 or 10 days of full liquids and then 7-10 days of mushies, and then free-for-all after that.

aliandrews 98 Posted April 14, 2012 Everyone is so different. I am surprised at one week post op he said to start solids, but maybe he has had success doing this. Good luck to you and keep us posted on how you are doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swilke 3 Posted April 14, 2012 My Dr. told me to let my body tell me what to do next. start on clear liquid, then move on. I am 4 days out I have had cream of wheat, cream of chicken. I am a newby, I don't know if this is or isn't good for me, I can tell you I am eating slow and and have NOT thrown up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelaEEEE 24 Posted April 14, 2012 I was on clears for 5 days, and then advanced to purées/mushies for 1 month. I am now 3 weeks out and can handle dark meat chicken just fine. 1 swilke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mews 37 Posted April 14, 2012 I have the extreme in the other direction: two weeks clear liquids, two weeks full liquids, two weeks soft/mushies, and then after the six week anything I can tolerate. It was tough, especially the clear liquid bit, but I made it through without any major issues besides lack of energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassygirl06 962 Posted April 14, 2012 I had full liquids starting day 2 and then mushies starting day 7.....then at 2 weeks I was able to start on full diet. listen to your sleeve, it will let you know if you shouldnt have what you are eating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoozisAnyway 176 Posted April 14, 2012 My post op diet is clears for first 24 hrs, full liquids for two weeks, mushies for two weeks, then transition into solid food. Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted April 14, 2012 I have the extreme in the other direction: two weeks Clear Liquids, two weeks full liquids, two weeks soft/mushies, and then after the six week anything I can tolerate. It was tough, especially the clear liquid bit, but I made it through without any major issues besides lack of energy. This was what I did plus two weeks of full liquid pre-op diet. For my clear liquid phase I used the clear zero carb Isopure liquid. Two bottles = 80 grams of Protein. I wasn't weakened by it probably because my Protein was up.

aviiva 140 Posted April 14, 2012 where do you get the Isopure and the necter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted April 14, 2012 where do you get the Isopure and the necter The Isopure is available at any GNC. You can also buy it online. It's pricey but you only need 30 bottles for 2 weeks. I never felt weak or hungry on this stuff and it counts toward the 64 oz of daily liquid you need. It's this stuff: http://www.gnc.com/p...2796&cp=3703232 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
