21 days Liquid diet rant



Recommended Posts

Reading forums...Apparently most folks change their diet week 2. My docs orders for my sleeve is following liquid diet for 21 days. BTW not full liquid but broths, Water, sugar free juice, Protein etc... I'm haven't a hard time yall. Not starving however missing non Liquid foods. I miss texture! Any words of encouragement? Or others on the same boat?

I was sleeved 5/23/16, and I was on liquids for 2 weeks prior to surgery and 3 weeks post op. I thought I would lose my mind, but I didn't and now I barely remember it. Just keep reminding yourself of the trauma that your stomach went through, and it needs TLC for a bit. It takes a while for swelling to go down. Lots of healing going on. You will get through it, and it's so worth it. Seems like a small bump in the road now that I look back on it. Hang in there; you'll be advancing your diet soon enough. I know it seems like forever!

my doctor required me to do the liquid diet for one month before, and one month after! It flew by after surgery, but the before was difficult. It will be over before you know it, and the moryou follow it, the easier and safer your surgery will me

It will be a distant memory soon...I am so sorry; I hated my liquid phase. The only thing I can really say is that it will be worth it!

Thank you, and you're right. It's just overwhelming at times. [emoji15]

@@JazzyV it is very overwhelming. For me, I think it was one of the hardest things I had ever done related to my eating habits and relationship with food in general. It helps so much to find out how tough you are as you go along in the process.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
