How long are you on liquids post op? My dr said 3 weeks but I was just wondering if anyone's was shorter?

Also what are some liquids that you can eat to change things up?

2 weeks liquid and 2 weeks puree before solid food. I did protein shakes and soup broth with added protein and i had SF jello, pudding, and popscicles. good luck with it.

I have one week Clear Liquids then two weeks full liquids then two weeks puréed.

1 week clear liquids, but I could have sugar free Jell-O and sugar free popsicles. 2nd week full liquids. 3rd week purees.

I am 2 days post op And purée starts on day 5 post op for two weeks and then soft/regular foods for 7 days then full diet.

I have 2 days clear liquids, 1 week full liquids, 1 week puréed, 1 week mushies, then regular food. I'm on full liquids right now and am eating a lot of soup (no chunks). I also have protein drinks, SF Popsicles, and SF pudding. I could use a little more variety too.

I did clear liquids in the hospital, now i'm on full liquid for 3 weeks, then i can progress to soft foods, like scrambled eggs and cheese, soft meats ( canned tuna and chicken, stuff like that. This 3 week liquids is hard though, especially cuz i hate my protein shakes. But we have a limited income so i can't afford the really good ones =(

It isn't as exciting as you think it is to eat again. I am so much more satisfies when I am just drinking my shakes. My NUT has cut me down to 2 shakes a day but I have 2 1/2-3 and I would have 4 but I guess I have to start eating sometime. I don't like the feeling I get when I eat food. I am 3 months out and have lost 50 pounds. I am slowly weening myself off the shakes that I love.

What kind of shakes are you drinking?

I'm drinking muscle milk. I'm going to buy some other soups tomorrow and some Popsicles

I drink ISP 100 by Dimatize. I can't wait for time to roll around so I can have another.

Woops. ISO 100

Can you have low fat ice cream? I want to try sonething different

Stick with the popsciles....much better for you!
