I was advised to do 1 week clear liquid and 1 week full liquid. It is hard.

I never realized how much food fill's ones life. I don't even mean in an addictive sense. Just planning, preparing and sharing daily meals. I miss it. There is definitely some joy missing in my life. I am trying to stay focused on the big picture. That this is a small blip on the scale of things and there will be more normalcy.

Yeah mine was 2 weeks, 1st week was Clear Liquids, which is easy because of the surgery couldn't think about eating anything, second week was full liquids (protein drinks, Jello, etc), then on to soft foods but it took me 3-weeks before I could have a tiny bite of scrambled eggs and not hurt. Loved me some hummus and cottage cheese!

I am 10 days clear liquids, 10 days full liquids, then 10 days purée, and so on. My day 1 wasn't the day of surgery though. It was the day I was released from the hospital, so really I did 2 days of iv only prior to clear liquids.

Just had surgery July 11th and started clear liquids on Wednesday and then just started Protein Shakes today. Dr said he'll probably clear me for the next step when I see him for my one week check up on Friday.

I had my surgery July 12. How are we supposed to get down a whole Protein Shake, when we're only supposed to drink 2 ounces at a time?

I'm 2 weeks clear liquids, then a period of full liquids, then purée, then soft and at like 6 weeks solid food. I forget exactly cause my directions are in CA and I'm on vacation in cape cod. UCLA has never had a pouch leak so they're pretty strict on the liquid period since the first 10 days or so you're at risk for leaking, which is an emergency. I feel like the stages after that are slightly less important and more about developing good habits before you're set free on solids.

Luckily I already drink 2-3 Protein Shakes a day as I'm an avid weight lifter.

Mine is 1-2 days Clear Liquids, then one week of full liquids, then a week of smooth/purée, and then soft foods for 6-8 weeks.

I just hope I CAN eat/drink.





Can I ask what your BMI was starting out? Or if you may be on the "smaller" side than the average bariatric patient? I'm curious because a different poster mentioned 3-4 weeks liquid because he was "so obese" and I'm wondering if that time shortens if you have a lower BMI?

This is pretty much what my Dr required (except, only a few days clear liquids, then the balance of 2 weeks on full liquids).

I had my surgery on July 6, so almost done with liquids! We're on vacation in the US all summer, so it's been hard not being able to eat all my favorite foods while visiting home!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
