There really isn't much of an average. It's a very wide variation. I was on 3 weeks. Some folks 2, some 4, some people are on them for months.

I only have to do one day of clear liquids. My husband has plan a romantic weekend for us and I imagine I will have a few food funerals. I will then be back to no caffeine, no carbonated drinks, and eating to lose more weight before surgery, which is Sept 5th.

And I have been on mine since August 1st, seems like forever, but I am older than you all, so maybe I'll have Maximum Liver Shrinkage, I'll have my Dietary Purgatory now but I will go home on pureed not clear/murky liquids like you guys, benefit of a RnY Bypass instead of a sleeve! Yippee!??

I was on one week of full liquids, one week of clear liquids.

Every surgeon has their own preference.

I was only 24 hours of clear liquids. Props to all you doing it for weeks/months at a time!

I was required to lose 10% of my body weight prior to surgery. It took me a few months to do that.
