Anyone was or currently on only 1wk liquid diet post op? Having surgery next Tuesday 4/15..my doctor office only requires 1wk liquid diet post op. I thought it was very soon. And the 2 nd week is soft diet. .moist chicken, fish, lunch meat. Seems fast to me..anyone liquid diet was for 1wk only?

Yeah, I'm two weeks on full liquids. Then pureed food, then maybe soft things. <3

Yea mine is 10 days liquids post op then soft foods gradually.

Thanks for the replies. .I did kind of thought 1 wk of liquid was pretty short.

My dr. Is 1 week liquid diet post op, then begin to introduce soft foods. He recommends one food a day to make sure you tolerate them well. I don't see a problem with 1 week at all if this is what your dr. Is recommending. Just take it at a pace that works for you.

I am on 2 weeks of Clear Liquids and then I can move to full liquids for another week, then pureed foods and so on. Every doctor is different my doctor said it was more beneficial to stay on the clear liquids for an extra week so that my stomach can heal and reduce the stimulation of the digestive system.

I have my dr's post op instructions and it clearly states that we will leave the hospital on a Pureed/soft solids diet. Every dr. is different.

I was on a clear liquid diet for 2 days after surgery and then I did pureed foods for 2 weeks, and currently I am on the soft food stage for another week. Just take it slow, and if you are having problems with food going back to the liquid stage to let yourself heal more is always an option. (as long as you can get Protein in) Good luck!
