I know that everyone is different but I'd love to hear what your typical day is like on full liquids. Include what you eat, what time, when you nap, exercise, and take your vitamins/ medications. I have surgery on Monday, whoo-hoo!

I'd love to know too! 46 hours to go!

Since yesterday wasn't a model day, let's talk about Thursday (6 days post op):

• Breakfast (8am-ish) - 3 Multivitamins (chewable) and a cup of coffee with SF creamer; took about an hour
  
• Trip to Doctor for 10:15am post-op appt. 1 hour away, drank 24oz. Water on the way and bought a 32oz unsweetened iced tea for the way home (took me the rest of the day to drink, off an on)
  
• Stopped at grocery store to buy some more yogurt, Soup, etc.
  
• lunch (2pm-ish) - Campbell's Cream of chicken soup mixed with 1 can of water and 1 scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Chicken Soup Flavored Protein powder (ate half in about an hour); Calcium Citrate chewable Vitamins
  
• Snack (4pm-ish) - Jell-O chocolate Fudge SF pudding prepared with FF milk and 1 scoop of Unjury Chocolate Splendor Protein Powder (ate half in about twenty minutes)
  
• Nap for about an hour
  
• dinner (7pm-ish) - Protein shake (12oz Unsweetened vanilla Almond milk, 2 scoops Vanilla Cream protein powder, 4T Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder, ice - blended all up) - took about 4 hours to get down; 3 multivitamins (chewable)
  

My "exercise" would have been the walk to and from the parking lot to the doctor's office and the walk around the ginormousness that is "Wegman's" (grocery store). Being so soon post-op, I haven't yet started back on any kind of exercise. However, I did manage my minimum water intake and 80g of protein, so all is good!

I start in the morning with 22 oz of plain water, once I finish that I start sipping on an 11 oz can of protein shake which usually takes me at least an hour, then I start sipping on half Isopure Alpine Punch and half water throughout the rest of the day, it usually takes me the rest of the day to finish the bottle of Isopure. Then in between I'll have 4 oz ounces of yogurt, soup, or pudding. All together it is usually about 70 oz of fluids and 80 grams of protein. My pouch is really small (so my doctor tells me) so I can take in about 1 oz of fluid every 10 minutes, which means I am literally sipping something from the time I wake up until I go to sleep.

Clear liquids only while in hospital (2days) 1 oz. every 30 minutes, working up to 2 ozs. every 30 minutes. Home now: Only took pain meds first night, cramping and stomach meds twice. Tummy sore - getting up and laying down for first 3 or 4 days.Then, just incisions sore. Typical day. Up around 6:30 A.M. - check blood sugar levels (which have been great! Taken off Metformin day 14), take Prilosec, sip on a warm cup of fruity herbal tea. Within an hour 7:30 - eat breakfast of plain greek yogurt with SF Smuckers strawberry jelly in it (started out a few bites, worked up to 1/2 cup) Really liking cream of wheat lately - bump up protein by making w/milk & adding scoop nonfat dry milk. Drinking Isopure, thinned out with crystal light at first. Now, no problems with just plain water. Snack around 10:30 of protein shake ( 3 or 4 ozs. at first- worked up to 6 ozs.) Lunch around 1:30 usually some cream of whatever soup, but can blenderize just about any soup, lentil, bean are good choices. Add milk. Continue drinking, eating SF jello or popsicles, diluted diet cranberry juice or even skim milk. Better than bouillion is good too. 4:30 snack - shake or thinned, instant SF pudding (bumped up with scoop of protein powder) Dinner around 7:00 - usually blended soup, can bump up protein by adding stage one baby food meats (or puree your own), mix in well. First few days - got most of protein from Isopure - God send! I was on full liquids for first 2 weeks, no vitamins until after that. Now in puree - moving to soft foods. Take 1/2 my BP meds and Cholesterol meds at night. Day 24 for me. Sip slowly, burp when you can and stop eating/drinking when you feel like you have to burp, but can't. Hope that helps

Ohhh my gosh wish you could cook for me!!!! What you are having sounds really really good.

On post op day 1. So far so good my tummy is very sore!!! I'm glad to be a post op !!!

almost 3weeks post op and still on straight liquids. 3 protein shakes a day and water. I added Miso soup last week so 1/3 c of that as well....maybe I will get something to add at my 3 week appt on Monday

I was NPO in the hospital on surgery day, the day after I had my swallow eval and the did not see a leak so I was OK to start clear liquids. I did clears for that day only and then moved on to full (thin) liquids day 3 and beyond. Right now my current schedule looks like this:

6am I get up, take my Prevacid, and fill up my 32 ounce Water cup. I sip on the water until 8am

7am I take my Multivitamin and continue sipping water

8am I drink my first Protein shake. This takes me until 9:30 usually.

10am I take my B12 and start sipping water again

12pm I drink my second protein shake

1:30-2:00pm (ish) I start sipping water again

4pm I drink another shake

6pm I have 1/4 cup of strained Cream of whatever soup

7:00: Keep on sipping that water!!

10:00 Take my second prevacid and my other night time meds.
