My doctor has me on clear for one week before and two after. But I did bad I tried a solid and no its a no no. i stop myself I just feel so light headed so I decided to do full liquids doing researching and reading its your doctor thats decide how long on which liquid. I cant be on soild until July 5th. Its going to be a long time. But I choose to have the surgery for a better life and I have to push through it. Cant mess up again and eat a solid again.

Saint, I am 12 days post op, did 2 weeks liquid and veggies now just liquid, I can't stand it. I need to eat a little. Monday I will be able to eat soft foods. I have tried a couple of things, finely chopped chicken with gravy. Like 1 TBLS. omg it was so good. I've been doing the protien chic broth and that helps it is salty instead of sweet which is nice. Can't wait til moray!

I was on clears 7 days BEFORE surgery and 2.5 weeks after. If you eat whole foods you will hurt yourself... I worked with a bariatric Dr and I've seen people really screw themselves up by not doing as they are told and seen a few die. food is not that serious, focus on why you chose to have surgery it will get better but you must be strong or you will fail. Remember people who don't actively charge their lifestyles gain the weight back. Be wise and follow the plan.

I did 24 days of clears and hated every moment. Then I was cleared for foods and wanted to go back to clears!! Take advantage of this time. Load up on liquids and watch the pounds fall off! You can do it!

It's not being on clears that bother me so much bc honestly I'm not that hungry...it's the fact that clears basically mean sweetened things and I'm sick to my stomach of sweets. I've always been a meat and potatoes person and crystal light and Jello and Popsicles are making me rather not eat at all.

All this has me concerned that I'm only on Clear Liquids the first 7 days then on to soft foods for the next 3 weeks. Why is there such a difference? I just don't see how they vary so much.

Each surgeon chooses what plan they want to follow. The one they believe is best for their patients according to data and research and patient feedback. Someone on this website suggested using the seasoning packets from Ramen Noodles mixed with Water instead of broth. I am 4 days post-op...I tried it last night because I wouldn't eat any broth I was sick of it. And it was fabulous. Also, I am going to seek out a sugar free snow cone today!!

Man I'm gonna try the ramen trick.

I'm 4 days out and on Protein shakes but only getting about 1 down a day in 3oz increments. I realize I'm only getting about 20g of Protein and 180 calories a day. I am guessing this is part of why I feel so weak and out of it. I haven't taken pain meds since 1 day post surgery, so I don't think that making me woozy. But who knows...

I am on the clear and doing okay... I like the Ispure Mango Peach. Has anyone done the strained Soups?? Like a tortilla Soup... strained with no cheeses or anything, just the broth that is obviously seasoned?? Or Wonton Soup? ? Is that okay?

My clear liquid also has sf hot cocoa, ns carnation instant Breakfast, & thinned Protein shakes, & milk.

Post-op days 2-7 I was able to add strained/blenderized soup and boy that was and still is very nice and so good.

I am now 16 days out should be on pureed / soft but having a little trouble with it so taking it easy

Question...I'm 5 days out and haven't felt full or overfilled. I am not hungry, but as per the nut I am only doing about 15 oz of Protein shake a day. But I think I could drink a whole one at once! I'm doing 4oz at a time bc I'm scared of stretching the stomach. But I'm worried I'm not going to feel full!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
