usually only 7-10 days. Then they usually move to puree for 3 weeks. Very important to keep your Protein and fluids up. I know it will be difficult, but very important. Good Luck

I think every medical team is a little different. I was on liquid for 1 week post-op, then moved to 'level 2' diet that my med team had prescribed - which includes mostly liquid but the addition of SF, FF yogurt, cottage cheese (mushed up), ricotta thinned with liquid and a scrambled egg. I stay on that diet for 2 weeks. I'm in the middle of my second week with that and it's not bad. Good luck.

I had 3 weeks preop, should have been 2 but my surgery got delayed. The I just finished 2 weeks liquid post op. Now I have 2 week purée and 2 week soft. The Jan 22nd I am on to regular food. It is most certainly a journey but I can't believe how fast five weeks past to be honest! Just stay busy it will pass!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
