LIQUIDS how long 4u?



Recommended Posts

Dr. Aceves had us do 10 days clear liquid

10 days full liquid then 10 days of mushies.

I think it's pretty common to do an acid reducer for a period of time.

Clears for 14 days (I did 17). Then I did a combination of full liquids/mushies for another 2 weeks. I was over a month out due to the leak before I ever started full liquids.

If I am allowed to advance to mushies on September 17th I will have been on liquids 23 days plus 2 pre op.

Because my ability to spell was taken out with my stomach.

The good thing about that is you will probably lose more weight than if you advanced sooner!

Just trying to see the bright side!

Did your doctor require that many days or did you do them by choice?

my doc requires a full month on broth Jello and Optifast only nothing close to solid. then a month of mushies then soft solids. its not that bad now because i really dont feel for much. i get some nausea after anything goes down and i am scared to death of throwing up so i dont take chances.

Dang that's a long time on liquids -- I thought 10 on clear, 10 on fulls was bad enough -- 10 on mushies wasn't bad, except that I was actually on them a lot longer than that -- I am just now venturing into real "solid" food and I do it very cautiously. Hang in there, you'll make it through it and watching the scale move down is always a GREAT incentive!

Required. In fact a not so nice member of the "team" emailed me the day before my surgery to make sure I was still on clears and said they could tell if I was following my diet after surgery and staying on liquids. I was being scolded and had done nothing wrong.:thumbup:

I won't do anyting to risk my staple line (and by proxy my life) so I am just going to trod through however long he sees fit to keep me on liquids.

Liquids is 2-3 weeks in my program. If you move to the next phase and have problems, you have to move back to liquids as well.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
