How long were you on clear Liquids after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Only 4 days, but I only did 3 days because I felt too weak. I started then the full liquids for another 10 days, which is a total of 14 days on liquids. Day 15-28 is my puréed phase. You're doctor must be really strict, that would've been torture for me. Talk to him about it.

Well I'm on my way to full liquids staying the 11th. The past 4 weeks have been easier than I thought. Clear Liquids with Protein Drinks. I can't even finish a 14oz bottle. Gonna have to find better ways of getting my Protein. I've realized through all of this that hunger is all mental. I got past the hunger pains in my first week. I've also learned that food is like a drug, an addiction, and going through this entire first month on all clear liquids made me realize that when I begin to eat that it will be very healthy and probed through the day. Thanks for everyone's replies. Hope all is well

Sounds like you may be a special case, but double check with your Doc. I am 1 wk clear, 2 weeks shakes and cream Soup, 2 week soft food. Week 6 begins the new normal --Hi protein/low carb/low volume.

Soft foods are scrambled eggs, baked salmon, chick salad, low fat cheese.

This program is from these guys --http://www.bmioftexas.com/. They have been doing Bariatric surgery for 7-8 years. These guys are GOOD.

I was on clears for 24 hours in the hospital then started full liquid once I got home.
I do agree with consulting your doc before moving up, but I also think that over a month of Clear Liquids is very extreme ...

I am supposed to be on FULL liquids for 2 to 3 weeks. I am 3 days down now. I can eat cream of chicken Soup, cream of potato, Jello, full flavor pudding, Protein drinks etc. The I get to start the mushies. I have heard that Taco Bell refried Beans are awesome at this stage!!!

I was sleeved on December 30th 2013 and I'll be on clear Liquids until February 11th. I was able to add Protein to the diet on January 14th. I can't go to full liquids until February 11th. Do you feel that's way too long to be on just clear Liquids? In so tired of just broth, Popsicles, Water, and diet juices. I would love some type of variety. Don't get me wrong I have a whole new outlook on how and what to eat. Just wondering how long some others were on just clear Liquids

Clear liquids the day after surgery. Liquid Protein for the next three weeks. Maybe you misread your program? I have not read anything about a program that had so long a clear liquid regimen.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
