3 Weeks Clear Liquids Unbearable!

I might be going crazy but I am on 3 weeks of clear liquid diet. I am 16 days post op today and 5 more until mushies. I'm seriously going crazy - would a little egg drop soup hurt? Something? I know I should be listening to my surgeon but most people at my stage are atleast on full liquids!!!!! Help!!!!

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!
