clear liquid post op post op clear liquid diet how long?

[Paradise Mom 3]

I'm 5 days post op. I was sleeved June 14th. How long was your clear liquid diet? And what could yoi eat/drrink?

[ladylaura 77]

I'm on day 9 post-op and been on full liquid since I had the sleeve done. I guess each doctor is different, so I would call and ask them, or contact your nutritionist and ask...

Mine was a week on clears! The doc said no Protein powders added to anything, just focus on getting down the liquid.. I could drink any sugar free drinks and he told me to drink a little bit of juice cut with Water just to get a little bit of sugar into my system. I could also have any homemade clear broths... he was very specific to tell me homemade broths, though I'm sure that canned ones would have been fine.... I could also have sugar free jell-o. and popcicles.. oddly, I could also have coffee which I know is a no-no on many programs but I was allowed two cups a day... The only clear drink I wasn't supposed to have was anything with citrus as it is irritating to a new sleeve.

Once I got off of clears my diet progressed quickly.. I was only one week at each stage.. one week on full liquids, one week on purees, one week on mushies etc.

I was on clear fluids only on surgery day - the next day I started on full fluids.

There is so many different post op clear diets its frustrating. My doc said one week. Im assuming that's one week from suegery?

Mine was clear liquids til my first followup. Tomorrow is that first followup. I can't stomach the broth anymore so it's all about Popsicles and Jello. Mine also was no Protein focus, don't add any, the Protein starts after the first post op appointment.

No liquid only phase at all post-op; mushes and soft Proteins as tolerated and Protein Drinks used to flesh out the Protein numbers.

My clears was in the hospital only, but when I went home, I was too afraid and absolutely unable to do anything but clear for about 5 days.

I vow that I will ask my surgeon what I can and cannot eat/drink for the first 6 weeks.

I was on clear liquids for the 2 days in hospital. Then each stage (4 stages) afterwards was 10 days. It was frustrating, but I was so afraid if I got off course, I'd be in the ER. So I stuck with each stage for 10 days and had no problems at all. Sleeved on 11/7/2012 & down 56 lbs. Was actually down 25 lbs at my 4 week post op.

I was NPO surgery day, clears the next day then on to full liquids for a month.

I'm June 14th too!!!!

I'm on 2 weeks liquid but 4 days of that was in the hospital on the drip. The way my doctor explains it is that I can have anything that fits through a straw

We're u at a stand still weight wise? After ur 4 weeks?

[Private Sleever 50]

Weight loss was rapid from day of surgery up until maybe 7 mons out. I'm at the stage now that it may appear I'm not losing, but I'm actually losing about 5 lbs a mon now.
