Did anyone have any problems with the two week liquid diet following surgery

No problems. By the end, though, I was ready for some texture and real food, but it was very do-able and easy. I ate plenty of sugar-free popsicles!

I had no problems with the liquid diet but I now think I'm addicted to the sugar free popsicles!

I never thought that the simple task of drinking Water would be so difficult. I found it a full time job to drink my 48 ounces each day. Thank fully, today I can chug down as much as I want.

No problems. It takes me 12 hours though, to get in 100 ounces. I just sip slowly all day long.

I'm not sure how people returned to work right away. It seemed like my only focus the first 2 weeks was to sip sip sip to get all my Fluid and Protein in. I managed but I literally sat in my recliner all day with a variety of fluids next to me.

I am/was pretty much like KCgirl. It's been difficult for me, but then I keep the thought that it's ONLY 2 weeks. Considering everything else, I can handle that!

I wouldn't say I had problems, but was it hard? Some days, yes. Especially towards the end, when I was ready for something at least somewhat solid. Honestly, though, I did not really have much of an appetite, so the only trouble I really had was just making sure I was getting in enough fluids and Protein.

What do you mean by "problems"? If you mean, did you want REAL food, then yes. I couldn't wait to have something other than sugar free popsicles and Protein Shakes. lol.

If you mean medical problems, I did experience some diarrhea for the first 5-6 days after my surgery. I don't know if it was because of the surgery or because I was only on liquids or what.

I was on clear liquid three days then full liquids until week three. for me that included yogurts, cream Soups, sugar free Jello and popsicles. anything I could puree I did lol
