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!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
