Clear foods and liquids for the first two weeks



Recommended Posts

My list was all sugar-free stuff. Jell-O, chicken noodle & veggie Soups (strained), Crystal Light, Decaf teas & coffee. My surgeon calls for one week of Clear Liquids post-op.

Today was my day 1 of full liquids. The clear liquid diet (in combination with have an organ removed, lol!) really sucked the life out of me; not having Protein, IMO, made me exhausted.

The only thing I've done out of line with doctor's orders was to have 1 oz of freshly squeezed OJ from the tree in my yard. That teeny bit of sugar + Vitamin C + potassium made all the difference in the world! HOWEVER, that was my treat on Christmas day - my body was aching for fresh OJ. I've not had any since.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
