Is The Liquid Diet Easier Postop?

[skinnycupcake13 39]

im kinda dying hereeeeeee & i cant wait for post op solid food , but is the liquid diet more tolerable after surgery?

[blossom12 11]

For me it is because I'm not hungry whatsoever. I actually have to FORCE myself to drink my liquids. I thank God I'm not hungry anymore! hahaha good luck!

Same here! I am 7 weeks post op and NEVER hungry. The liquids are more tolerable post op because you don't feel like eating. However...it is hard to get them all in sometimes. Try your best and your recovery will be that much faster.

I had the same question. Thanks. I am 5 days on liquid now. It is hard but each day is closer to the surgery which I am hoping will be better after rather than the battle I have now with my hunger hormone.

For me, the liquid postop diet wasn't easier. Yes, I had trouble getting my liquids like others but in but my head I wanted to chew real food. I was never so glad when that 3 weeks was over.

It is way easier because you are not hungry. Well, speaking for myself anyway.

Eating food is a chore now. I still get what I need from Protein Drinks, with small bits of food here and there during the day. I'm not really hungry.

I agree Wolfgirl. Eating after the sleeve takes all the enjoyment out of it. It takes forever, I can only eat an ounce or two, and everything gets cold. Plus, nothing tastes the same anymore. This is a good thing, but it is a strange feeling...especially considering I was a food addict before this surgery. I supplement with a Protein Shake or two on the days I just don't feel like eating.
