3 Weeks Clear Liquids Unbearable!



Recommended Posts

I feel your pain! Of course I was on 10 days of clears before surgery, plus my surgeon requires 4 weeks of clears post op!! I am 10 days post op with 18 more days until I can start the pureed stage! Hang in there.... this part will be a distant memory soon. :)

I feel tha same wa you do. I am 9 days post op and have 3 more weeks of clear liquids!! O how I was looking forward to having a boiled egg on Easter!!! I am sick of SF Jello. I don't get in enough liquids because I get gassy after 3 sips. I think I am going to try to do 3 Protein Shakes a day and hope that pulls me through untik April 19th!!

3 WEEKS of clears? Woah! I was on one week clear, one week fulls, 1 week mushies and then whatever with caution. I would be going nuts too. It's so weird how different all of the surgeons are with their requirements.

I am so sorry you have to suffer with clear liquids...I admire you for not having cheated before.I am on mushies from today and it makes a huge difference.Phone your dr and tell them they are killing you.Ask...he can only say yes or no.

O,you have lost 5 pounds more than me since surgery...a little reward for your liquids I think.

Good luck.

We basically have the same start weight and goal weight!! When were you sleeved? I was 3/13.

I am two days post-op. It still hurts a little when I drink.I don't think I am supposed to be drinking Protein shakes yet right ?

I'm supposed to be on thick liquids for another week but I cannot stand it anymore. I'm probably the worse patient ever but i'm starting to introduce a few bites of mushies into my day =/ I even had a tiny corner of bread the other day, but I tolerated it fine.

I never even got full/thick liquids!! Clear Liquids to mushies. I get mushies on Tuesday and I am nervous since I havent tried a thing! I did however have a Gatorade and the sugar made my belly feel sick. I have been craving meatballs and sauce for a week now.....I'll be mushing that up real soon hahaha I'm just ready to have the normal level of energy I was once used to again!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
