I am feeling like I am the only person on here who is on clear liquids for 2 weeks post op!

I see people having protein a week out?!?!

Why are post op eating plans so varied ???

I think it depends on your doctor. In my program we're on clear liquids for 10 days post op, so you're not alone.

It does depend on your doctor. I only had to do 1 week clear liquids post op. But it depends on the surgery you had also. So please follow your doctors orders, because they know you best.

It depends entirely on your doctor to set the diet chart as it is he who knows what is best for their patient.Every doctor follows a different line of treatment therefore it is always best to follow the given instructions.This helps to minimize the healing period and you will be feeling better in no time.

definitely depends on your doctor, I have been noticing that with the pre-op diet as well. Some are allowed certain foods, some are pre-op diet for a few days to a few weeks, some can only have liquids and some don't have a pre-op diet at all. The variations are endless hang in there though! If you need any encouragement I am here

you can put protein unjury I powder into those clear liquids . I had surgery yesterday and they put in in the need broth and the water I was drinking . I was discharged first things this am and I started to so it also . Without the protein you will become very weak and have so issues .

You are not alone, I was sleeved on 8/7/14, and I also am on a two week liquid diet. But everyday we are getting closer!

Follow what your dr gives you . With that said . I chose to stay on the liquid dirt for a month instead of 2 weeks . I also now on the third stage of his diet which is eating chicken crab shrimp but I am again choosing to stay on the soft food and protien shakes for one more month . Then do the third diet .
