      Your surgeon should Review all of that with you and provide you a list. Most people are on liquids for a while. Do u have a list?

      Pretty much ditto for me. Surgeon requirements vary widely so it's a good idea to stick with the information they gave you or check with your doctor for any additions. Most importantly - as Mrs. D sai

    My nutrition booklet says two weeks on liquids then getting in those shakes. I could've sworn though when I met with a nutritionist that I was supposed to start them sooner. Maybe it depends on each doc in the practice too. Just keeping my fingers crossed that my update with a nurse tomorrow gives me some slack.

    I was still on clear liquids at 5 days and my doctor said he was not concerned about my protein intake for the first week. He said staying hydrated was more important.
