Mine was just one week Clear Liquids, one weak full liquids, then the other stages. But you can stay longer in each phase.

Yup my surgeon had a 4 week clear/protein shakes diet as well. By that third week I was going insane because I wanted to chew something. This is when someone here recommended sugar free popsicles. I could at least bite them and chew/melt them in my mouth.

I was on full liquids for 3 weeks and honestly it was hard for me to do the purées the first week. If I had to do over I would think 4 weeks of liquid was better
