2 week Post op Liquid diet.

[BuffaloBill 168]

I'm almost done, im on day 11 but this last week has been very taxing mentally. Post op you can't do much physically and are supposed to stay home and recover. What did most of us do when we sat home ? We ate. That's how we all got here. So strictly liquids for 2 weeks after surgery is so tough. It's worth it too see the scale keep going down but I can't wait to finally get back to regular healthy food I was eating in the months leading up to my surgery on Oct 5th. How did everybody else handle the liquid regime ? Any tips or something too look forward too would be great to hear. As 89hduof now my Starting Weight=280 Surgery Weight=245 Current =232 Goal 180.

It was as if a switch had been flipped once I awakened from surgery: I was no longer interested in food. My appetite was profoundly diminished for months afterward.

The extreme disinterest in food and lack of appetite made the post-op liquid diet easy for me.

In fact, my appetite did not begin to return until sometime between the 8th and 9th post-op month.

It is tough, even for those of us who weren't obliged to do a strictly liquid diet and could do soft things, we're still doing a lot of liquidy things because that's what's tolerated initially, Though I could do some yogurt and eggs, I still got awful tired of Soups and Protein Jello and couldn't stand the thought of them for a couple of years.

I feel your pain. My surgery was oct 5th as well. I can start eating soft foods 23rd after my dietician meeting. I am sick of liquid only! I sometimes feel a little hungry. I think that it is only because I want something other than liquid.
