I'm one week post op today and I'm so tired of clears and I can't seem to tolerate isopure to get in my protein. I'm ready for some protein shakes. Just curious as to when everyone else made the switch from Strict Clear to Full Liquids?

I was cleared for full liquid on first day home from hosptial (day 3).

I was cleared for full liquid after 7 days home.

I too, was cleared when I left the hospital.... But I wasn't able to until day 5, which was when I had tomato soup hehe

Surgery day being day zero, my surgeon recommended full liquids (protein shakes with milk, etc.) on day 2. Mushies on day 8. All the best on your journey.

I'm cleared to do full liquids day 8 after surgery. But a questions for everyone.....looking over my paperwork the only difference between clear liquids and full liquids is the protein shake. Do other people have other differences?

I was cleared the day I went home, 1 day after surgery.

full liquids is also cream soups, jello, puddings, yogurt,veggie juices and strained soups, hot cerals made soupy i.e. cream of wheat/cream of rice

My instructions also say after 2 days start full liquids

i was on full liquid upon leaving the hospital, the day after surgery.

On my paperwork I can do yogurt, applesauce, watery cream of wheat, etc and stuff like that on the full liquids

WOW....can't believe how many of you started so soon on full liquids. I'm suppose to wait another two days until I start on full liquids but I broke down today and had a Protein shake. I had half of it in one sitting and the rest later. On Clear Liquids I'm getting in about 200-300 calories and hardly any protein.

My thought is that if I can tolerate it well why not advance slowly into full liquids. I'll wait another couple of days before do more than Protein drinks. But come Wednesday I'm hitting some yummy soup!!!

The day after surgery, in the hospital, my first meal was clear liquids. My second meal that afternoon, still in the hospital, was full liquids. The next day, at home, I started soft food.
