I did clear liquids the day of my surgery and then full liquids for 2 weeks. I am now finishing up 2 weeks of pureed foods.

I was on full liquids for 3 weeks, then soft foods. Every doctor varies, yet all seem to get results if you follow their plan. I think of it as multiple paths to the same place. Best wishes, and do what your doctor says.

I'm required to start today, my first. 3 Protein shakes a day and clear liquid. Sounds like it takes a while to get them down, not like before surgery. Cooling mine down now, will try to get it going soon. Not hungry, but told we really need the Protein and Vitamin C to heal quickly

Yes it does take a little while to get them down. They told me no longer then 1 hour. They gave me a tip and said 2 ounces every15 minutes. I have a question for you. What do you mean ur cooling us? Do you heat it up.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
