Clear Liquids Post Op



Recommended Posts

I think it depends on your doctor. In my program we're on clear liquids for 10 days post op, so you're not alone.

It does depend on your doctor. I only had to do 1 week clear liquids post op. But it depends on the surgery you had also. So please follow your doctors orders, because they know you best.

It depends entirely on your doctor to set the diet chart as it is he who knows what is best for their patient.Every doctor follows a different line of treatment therefore it is always best to follow the given instructions.This helps to minimize the healing period and you will be feeling better in no time.

definitely depends on your doctor, I have been noticing that with the pre-op diet as well. Some are allowed certain foods, some are pre-op diet for a few days to a few weeks, some can only have liquids and some don't have a pre-op diet at all. The variations are endless :) hang in there though! If you need any encouragement I am here :)

Follow what your dr gives you . With that said . I chose to stay on the liquid dirt for a month instead of 2 weeks . I also now on the third stage of his diet which is eating chicken crab shrimp but I am again choosing to stay on the soft food and protien shakes for one more month . Then do the third diet .

      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?

      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.
