Did You Have Only Liquids One Week Postop?

My surgery was the 15th. I am soooo sick of the liquid diet. Did anyone start early? I haven't had issues but my doc said wait Til Monday.

Hi I had my surgery on the 15 to! I am on full liquids for about another ten days.. buy I think that's all our sleeves can handle. Hang in there! cream of chicken Soup is great just make sure u strain the chicken

Wait! You didn't go through the pre-op, the surgery, etc. to cheat now. By following the guidelines you are teaching your brain new behavior (in addition to allowing yourself a chance to heal). Try some chicken or beef broth, hot herbal tea - Hot drinks can be soothing.

Best of luck!

Every surgeon is different my booklet states that when u get home from the hospital u can try full liquids if tolerated. If not go back to clear. Its worked great for me! I'm can also get my Protein Shakes in!!

I had surgery on the 16th, liquids only so far, really just Water, had 1/2 a Protein Shake today. I am scared to drink anything. Not too much nausea just feeling a little weak but I was able to walk for about 15 minutes today. Good luck everyone

I was on the 15th too! 2 weeks of full liquids, 2 weeks of puréed and 4 weeks of soft foods. I want some (salty) chicken SO BADLY!!

I am not, just rough. I had two weeks of this with veggies and that was hard. This is tortuous! I won't do it but I thought about it as I strained the broth from chicken noodle Soup at Wawa. This is the hardest thing I have ever done. This is not a walk in the park. I want it and you have to really want it to do it. Takes total control especially when you live with a husband who eats healthy foods and lost his weight. Thankfully he is so supportive and eats by himself.

I never thought I would ever get sick of Popsicles! The orange ones especially!! Two more days of hell.

I did drop 34 lbs since I started the whole process. Some good news!

Thankfully when we can eat we will be selective and can't eat too much. Dreaming of mashed potatoes!! Grits!! and a scrambled egg!!

I am grateful my healing has been decent. Just tired and lazy. My doctor said this is all expected. I stopped Tylenol w Codiene 3 days ago.

Ya I'm not able to eat but about an ounce of Soup a day but it does satisfie me. I am also aloud to eat grits and cream of wheat!! It goes down pretty well!
