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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
