Need variety, help?!?

My doctor has me on clear for one week before and two after. But I did bad I tried a solid and no its a no no. i stop myself I just feel so light headed so I decided to do full liquids doing researching and reading its your doctor thats decide how long on which liquid. I cant be on soild until July 5th. Its going to be a long time. But I choose to have the surgery for a better life and I have to push through it. Cant mess up again and eat a solid again.

Saint, I am 12 days post op, did 2 weeks liquid and veggies now just liquid, I can't stand it. I need to eat a little. Monday I will be able to eat soft foods. I have tried a couple of things, finely chopped chicken with gravy. Like 1 TBLS. omg it was so good. I've been doing the protien chic broth and that helps it is salty instead of sweet which is nice. Can't wait til moray!

I was on clears 7 days BEFORE surgery and 2.5 weeks after. If you eat whole foods you will hurt yourself... I worked with a bariatric Dr and I've seen people really screw themselves up by not doing as they are told and seen a few die. Food is not that serious, focus on why you chose to have surgery it will get better but you must be strong or you will fail. Remember people who don't actively charge their lifestyles gain the weight back. Be wise and follow the plan.

I did 24 days of clears and hated every moment. Then I was cleared for foods and wanted to go back to clears!! Take advantage of this time. Load up on liquids and watch the pounds fall off! You can do it!

It's not being on clears that bother me so much bc honestly I'm not that hungry...it's the fact that clears basically mean sweetened things and I'm sick to my stomach of sweets. I've always been a meat and potatoes person and crystal light and jello and Popsicles are making me rather not eat at all.

I am right there with ya!

All this has me concerned that I'm only on clear liquids the first 7 days then on to soft foods for the next 3 weeks. Why is there such a difference? I just don't see how they vary so much.

Each surgeon chooses what plan they want to follow. The one they believe is best for their patients according to data and research and patient feedback. Someone on this website suggested using the seasoning packets from Ramen Noodles mixed with water instead of broth. I am 4 days post-op...I tried it last night because I wouldn't eat any broth I was sick of it. And it was fabulous. Also, I am going to seek out a sugar free snow cone today!!

Man I'm gonna try the ramen trick.

I'm 4 days out and on Protein shakes but only getting about 1 down a day in 3oz increments. I realize I'm only getting about 20g of protein and 180 calories a day. I am guessing this is part of why I feel so weak and out of it. I haven't taken pain meds since 1 day post surgery, so I don't think that making me woozy. But who knows...

I just had a sugar free snow cone and it was delish!! I can drink clear fluids ok. Not sure how I will do with the protein shakes. I don't have to start those till next week.

I am on the clear and doing okay... I like the Ispure Mango Peach. Has anyone done the strained Soups?? Like a tortilla Soup... strained with no cheeses or anything, just the broth that is obviously seasoned?? Or Wonton soup?? Is that okay?

My clear liquid also has sf hot cocoa, ns carnation instant Breakfast, & thinned Protein shakes, & milk.

I can do strained soups next week when I am on full liquids...can't wait! Strained tortilla soup sounds heavenly!!

Post-op days 2-7 I was able to add strained/blenderized soup and boy that was and still is very nice and so good.

I am now 16 days out should be on pureed / soft but having a little trouble with it so taking it easy

Question...I'm 5 days out and haven't felt full or overfilled. I am not hungry, but as per the nut I am only doing about 15 oz of Protein shake a day. But I think I could drink a whole one at once! I'm doing 4oz at a time bc I'm scared of stretching the stomach. But I'm worried I'm not going to feel full!

I was told liquids are sliders and so even though u can't drink a ton, u never really feel full. Should start to feel restriction on mushies and soft foods. But definitely don't drink too much. U are doing just right.
