When Did You Move From All Clear To Full Liquid?



Recommended Posts

I'm one week post op today and I'm so tired of clears and I can't seem to tolerate Isopure to get in my Protein. I'm ready for some Protein Shakes. Just curious as to when everyone else made the switch from Strict Clear to Full liquids?

Surgery day being day zero, my surgeon recommended full liquids (protein shakes with milk, etc.) on day 2. Mushies on day 8. All the best on your journey.

I'm cleared to do full liquids day 8 after surgery. But a questions for everyone.....looking over my paperwork the only difference between clear liquids and full liquids is the Protein shake. Do other people have other differences?

On my paperwork I can do yogurt, applesauce, watery cream of wheat, etc and stuff like that on the full liquids

WOW....can't believe how many of you started so soon on full liquids. I'm suppose to wait another two days until I start on full liquids but I broke down today and had a Protein shake. I had half of it in one sitting and the rest later. On Clear Liquids I'm getting in about 200-300 calories and hardly any Protein.

My thought is that if I can tolerate it well why not advance slowly into full liquids. I'll wait another couple of days before do more than Protein drinks. But come Wednesday I'm hitting some yummy soup!!!

The day after surgery, in the hospital, my first meal was clear liquids. My second meal that afternoon, still in the hospital, was full liquids. The next day, at home, I started soft food.< /p>

      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.
