On liquid diet!!!!!!!!

Sent from my ADR6400L using VST

We had same surgery date.. im on full liquid, tolerating my protein shakes, low fat cream soup, and today i just had a little bit of mashed potatoes (2 tsp) thats it.. what r u having?

My surgery date was 10/9, I ate chicken broth, drank Fuze Slenderize, lots of water, sf popsicles, jello, etc. I advanced to creamy soups yesterday and ate an oz of instant mashed potatoes. Everything seems to be going down fine. I haven't had any nausea from foods. But, if I feel the urge to use the bathroom and I don't go right away, I get extremely nauseated....its very weird.

How long are you on liquids?

I'm still on a liquid diet too, sleeved on 10/11/12. I try to mix it up daily so I don't get bored. I do different types of protein shakes, soups, sugar free pudding with protein powder, protein shots and crystal light.

I was on clear liquids for a week. Now I am on "creamy" liquids and runny "mushies" for another week (I cheated with the mashed potatoes). Next week I start "mushies" for 2 weeks.

My 2 week post-op appt is next Tuesday and I'm hoping everything is going as good inside as it feels like it is.

I start full liquids on the 8th day..close but I'm going insane already

I called my doctor's office today about the bowel movement issue. They said to take to Benefiber. I did and it WORKED. I put it in my Water. It was cherry pomegranate.

I wish I read this post earlier today! I'm tentative to take something that may upset my stomach, so I had baby food-pureed prunes with applesauce with lunch hoping that would help. So far, nada! I also bought fiber gummies, recommended on another thread and ate 2. Let's see what tomorrow brings...
