BTW my surgery is June 12

I just kept a water bottle filled with crystal light or other flavorings & beneprotein to help with protein intake & just sipped from it all day long. I didn't have a limit as to how much in a certain amount of time or anything. we're supposed to get 64 oz (at least) in a day. Some people can't do that much right away, but you need to try. It took me all day, but I was able to do it. Also, right after surgery, everything - broth, SF popsicles, SF jello, crystal light, water, Isopure clear liquid - all count toward your "liquid" total, so it's not just 64 oz of water. It does take a long time right away though. The first day I tried broth, it took me 90 minutes to have one cup (8 oz) of broth!! It took less time each day, but that first time sure was shocking how long it took! My Bariatric Coordinator said that as long as I wasn't feeling nauseous while drinking/eating, that I wasn't doing it too fast or too much. Just take things slow & listen to your body, but try to get all your fluids in to prevent dehydration!

Two weeks of a liquid diet? I didn'treally have to have a complete liquid diet except for the one day I was in the hospital, then they immediately put me on soft foods, such as jello, pudding, soups, yogurts, and shakes. Is that what you're considering the liquid part? If so, it really wasn't too bad because you aren't really hungry anyway. Although, after a couple of weeks, I was ecstatic to finally get to eat a scrambled egg!! Good luck with your surgery, and remember to walk, walk, walk!

Dargar - it depends on the original poster's plan. My surgeon has a fairly slow progression afterward & I had to be on clear liquids for a full 2 weeks after surgery, which only included Isopure clear liquid, broth, crystal light, SF Popsicles & SF Jello. I could also have Unjury unflavored, chicken soup or strawberry sorbet and/or Beneprotein because they were considered clear liquids by my surgeon. I couldn't have pudding or regular protein drinks or other soft foods until later, which is what I'm assuming the original poster is talking about too.
