This is my ninth day after surgery, my surgery was 2/26/20

@Alaldm

I was put on a liquid diet for 15 days! clear liquids, just broth and 4 0z of Water every hour and a lite juice in the morning. I do not feel hungry, but the thought is there 😏

@Jay19

Clear Liquids is what you can see through or something that will melt to liquid consistency like Water. Jello will melt to water for example so is considered clears. The most common liquids are broth, jello, juices, popsicles, coffee. Full liquids are thicker like pudding, cream of wheat, thickened Soups, ice cream. My doc had us on full liquids for about a month post op.

Oh ok, yeah so i am on a Clear Liquids, no coffee though, Jello and crystal lite has been my savior. what scares me is that i cant wait to eat something other then liquids.. 😏

i did not go on a diet before my surgery, I did my surgery out of the country, so no dietitian, the clinic gave a me a list of things to eat but no real guidance.

Hi everyone. My surgery date is 02-20-20. I liked the date. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m on Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids and get my staples out next Thursday, so I’m right there with you all.

Anyway, I had the RNY back before it was cool or before much research had been done about it—nearly 14 years ago. It was amazingly successful. I was on my treadmill in 18 hours. I went from 261 to 155 after a Tummy Tuck (the extra skin gets gross).

But over time, I slowly was able to tolerate anything I wanted, and ultimately ended up back at 267. So I was approved for a revision for DS (duodenal switch) surgery.

This experience was not like the last quick laparoscopic one. Last Thursday I came out of the OR with a 13” incision down my abdomen recovery has been awful.

I’m in no rush to move onto soft foods, because I remember being at the 5 year mark and unable to lose weight when I wanted to for the first time. My Dr. told me to go back to the post-op Diet for a month and it really worked. Then I tried it at the 10 year mark and it didn’t do anything.

So as much as it sucks having family around you able to consume everything, just know that your 1-month weigh-in is going to blow your socks off unlike anything you have experienced, so my advice is to enjoy the journey. The longer you can tolerate the liquids, the faster your initial weight loss will be. And although you will lose a lot of weight throughout the first year, you will never lose as rapidly as you will during the first 30 days post-op. And you only get one chance at that. So, as hard as it may seem some days, be patient and don’t rush this opportunity.

Congratulations to everyone. Here’s to a new and improved life!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
