How long were you on clear Liquids after surgery?

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

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!!!

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.
