Liquid phase postop

I'm honestly being a bit naughty on vacation but I'm doing my best to count my bad foods (fish and chips) in my daily calories.

Wow! All my strength and love to you!! On day four and it's been pretty tough..

It gets better! And after surgery you will be eating like this, so it's best to get used to it now.

(For me the first day was the absolute worst, and by the fourth day I was OK. But, everyone is different!)

Can I ask what your BMI was starting out? Or if you may be on the "smaller" side than the average bariatric patient? I'm curious because a different poster mentioned 3-4 weeks liquid because he was "so obese" and I'm wondering if that time shortens if you have a lower BMI?

I think it's just standard for this program because it's pre-printed that way in the booklet for the post-surgery diet/instructions that the nutritionist gave me.

My BMI started over 50 and, though the nurse said that's low compared to their typical patients, it certainly isn't in that marginal 35-40 range.
