I am on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks, I am currently 8 days in. My surgery is the 28th and I am exited and nervous at the same time. I am so ready to start my new healthier life. I have lost 15lbs in 7 days, WOW!...My doctor says we can start a full liquid diet right after surgery. Did anyone else start off this way? If so how did it go? If not, then what was your post op diet like?

Congratulations on your success with your pre-op! You have gotten through the hardest part. I am 5 months post-op and my team also had me on full liquids by the time I left the hospital two days after surgery and I was fine. I was on full liquid for a week and then puree for two weeks and then some soft foods, by a month was eating most foods (although I stay away from most carbs other than those already in my Protein, fruit or veggies).

Best of luck to you!
