Like stated above, liquid stage goes right through you and your stomach was just operated on. Some won't be able to feel full on liquid stage though on puree you may or may not be able to. Please don't move stages too fast, you can damage your still recovering stomach! I know it's miserable in liquid stage, but it passes relatively fast. It just feels like it crawls by at the time. Also, head hunger is a thing and can really mess with you. And smoothies may not be a good option. I was told to avoid berries for three months because they're hard to digest (strawberries, raspberries, bananas, blueberries, etc.) and berries tend to be the go to when it comes to smoothies. I mean, there is the option of peaches or apples or cherries or plums or mango, but usually people want to toss in a banana and that's hard on your stomach (according to my surgeon, anyway. I tried strawberries at a month and half out and got sooooo sick, so I believe it, personally).

Congrats on your surgery and I hope the liquid stage passes quickly for you. (Also, kind of wondering why they require two weeks? My surgeon was 1 week liquid, 1 week puree, 2 weeks soft food, and the general diet with some limitations [no berries, nuts, lettuce, peas, Beans, corn, potatoes, etc. for a certain amount of time]. I mean, all surgeons are different, but I'm kind of curious...)

I had my surgery august 12 I was able to get All the gas Out tmi however now I can’t seem to get full at all no matter what I drink what are options you guys can offer I wanna try smoothies but I’m not sure please help I’m starving and I don’t think I will make two weeks to get back to the doctor to get to the next stage They put me back on the Clear Liquids

could be dehydration or caffeine/carb withdrawal. I had the same. You just have to white knuckle it and keep in mind that it's temporary. I remember being almost relieved the morning of surgery because the stupid liquid diet was finally over!! (or at least the pre-op one - post-op liquid diets are much easier!)

I been struggling with headaches since this liquid diet started I’m just waiting for the 12th to get her and I hope it comes quick

I’m struggling to try and stay on the liquids only part of the pre op diet any tips
