I had RNY July 1st. Anyone else diet plan after surgery calls for 3 weeks liquid? I have one week clear then two weeks full liquids ? I want real food lol I see so many others who can have things sooner. Is my doctor just being super cautious?

Ours is clears until day 4 then full liquids until day 14 then we go to a couple weeks of puree

I had 3 days of clear liquids, 2 weeks of full liquids then 4 weeks of soft foods.

I had RNY on July 3. I have 4 days clear and 11 days full liquid. I am struggling to meet my liquid and protein goals, I can't even imagine eating real food right now. Im still learning how to manage my pain while getting some walking in during the day. I need this time to learn how to eat again, so I'm def not ready for real food anyway.

Ok so I guess we all do have similar plans. I guess I’m just anxious to try new things. This first week has flown by already. I should count my blessings so far and stop whining. Lol ? Thx for the replies! ?

@Ren951 Also remember, just because the calendar says it's time to move on to the next phase doesn't mean your stomach is ready. You may have to stay in a phase longer than planned because your stomach is ultimately the boss!

My docter wanted me to do liquids for 1 month then pureed for 2months then soft food for a month. I went rogue at 3 weeks and started pureed for a week then moved to soft food a week later...

I have 3 days clear liquids then 3-4 weeks full liquids.

I just started Protein Shakes in addition to clears and so far so good ?? I think I’m having head hunger thus wanting “real food”. I’ve been on liquids for almost 3 weeks now counting pre-op. I didn’t cheat once pre-op so I intend on same post-op. I’m too scared of creating unnecessary complications. ?

Yeah I’m gonna remember to listen to my stomach and not rush if not ready. ?

Wow....mine only called for 2 (actually more like 10-11 days). I just graduated to slowly introducing soft food.

3 days clear liquids, 11 days full liquids. Though it seems there's some variation in what is considered "full liquid", like my list doesn't include the cream soups even though I am allowed pudding, yogurt, sherbet. I'm sticking to my list though since we're talking just 4-5 more days, it's just not worth quibbling about. Which I think you figured out too, lol.
