4 Week Post-Op Liquid Diet

Did anyone else have a 4 week Post-Op Liquid diet? I've never heard of it elsewhere, but my Doctor does it.

I'm going crazy. Just finished week 2 and it's so hard to think I have 2 more weeks. Especially since I (thankfully) healed from the surgery super fast. I was drinking normally and up and about basically the day after surgery, but I still can only have nasty Protein Drinks.

Even though you are feeling great, your stomach won't be healed for 8 or 9 weeks. 4 weeks is longer than most, but mine wasn't that far off. For me it was a week of clear liquids, a week of full liquids, then a week of thin yogurt (pour off the spoon), then a week of thicker (sit on the spoon). So, although that last week I couldn't have sipped through a straw, it was still just yogurt, cottage cheese, and things like that.

Just take it day by day, and one day it'll all be ancient history ;)

I'm on 7th week, and still have pureed + liquids diet mostly. I can tolerate most of solids, but just feel uncomfortable, so sticking to some softer/mushier foods.

A full liquid diet is the best one, imho - especially if based on protein shakes. Our ultimate goal is to lose weight, after all.
