Just Wondering..

I was sleeved on May 13, 2014. Just a few short days ago. My procedure went well. So well in fact I only spent one night in the hospital.

However as I have read other posts here I have seen that things have been handled a good deal different in my case or so it seems. I was given only one meal of Clear liquids, Breakfast the next day and the lunch the same day put on full liquids. I have read posts here where people are a week out or even more and still on Clear Liquids.< /p>

I know all Docs have different ways of doing things and all but does this seem a bit..well not right to any of you? I tried stuff on the full liquid list (yogurt, creamed thin Soup etc) and was miserable. Today I went back to veggie broth, Jello and popsicles and felt WAY better. I ordered some unflavoured powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury to add to my broth to get my Protein so that part is taken care of.

Am I right in thinking all of that was just a tiny bit rushed? Seems to me that it was just a bit too hurried...

Sounds like you are trusting your thoughts and listening to your body! Good for you. I was on clear liquids for. 2 days and then on full liquid for two weeks ( just getting to the end of it on Sat because I was sleeved on May 1). Even though it's a bit boring I have had no problems (except for being severely constipated today). Everyone is different. I think the slower the better to introduce food. Good luck!

My Doctor is really strict....I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks then full liquids for 2 weeks(one week left of this phase I was sle on April 24th) and then pureed for 2 weeks!

If you aren't tolerating full liquids, then don't push it. I do think you should explore more options for getting in your Protein on clear liquids: Isopure RTD (it's nasty but has tons of protein -- try cutting it 50/50 with Water, essence water, G2, or Powerade Zero), Unjury chicken broth, Syntrax Nectar, HealthSmart high protein bouillons -- those sorts of things.

I don't think your surgeon is doing anything wrong -- mine only has his patients on 24 hours of clear liquids before moving on to fulls, and I had no problem with that regimen. But absolutely, if you aren't ready for the next stage, hang back on the previous one until you are. Good luck!

I was on full liquids from the start. Not sure I wpulda survived on clears very long. The only things they served me my 2 days in the hospital was 4 Protein shakes a day (about 4 oz each) and Water.

I was on full liquids for 4 weeks. Longest 4 wks of my life. If I never c another cup of split pea Soup, it'll be too soon...

Good luck to 7.
