The book I was given shows that I should be on liquids. Last week when I went to my follow ip appt my surgeon hands me a 1200 cal diet to follow which contains food. Im confused!!

Every surgeon has their own idea what works so if you listen to anyone other than you're surgeon you're bound to get a lot of conflicting information.

Do what your surgeon says, not a book or anyone else.

All Drs are different. That's something you'll hear a lot around here.

My Dr requires 30 days of full liquids, yeah!!!

My doctor only required 1200 calorie diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery and FULL liquid diet day BEFORE surgery. . . they all have their own way

I was on 4 weeks of liquids post op. Oh my gosh it sucked lol. I was so glad when it was over.

30 days?!?!

30 days!!! and I will do those 30 days.

I truly believe in following Drs orders.

PS. Doesn't have to do liquid diet pre-op

My surgeon did not put me on a pre-op diet....I just have to eat light a day before and NPO after midnight.....So yeah, all surgeons do it on a case by case basis, so follow your surgeons recommendations.

Did you mean pre-op?

Who gave you the book? It's possible you need to be on liquids for a period post op and the doctor was giving you a sample food plan for when you move to solids.

I was on clear liquids with protein shakes 7 days, full liquids with protein shakes 7 days, soft mushies 7 days, denser mushies 7 days, and back to solids after that.

30 days!!! and I will do those 30 days.

I truly believe in following Drs orders.
