Your surgeon will let you know how much weight loss is expected.

Thank you catwoman. I didn't know you can buy individual packets! I will check out both of your recommendations.

This is not clear liquid diet but you can choose not the solids .

Thom Ka Gai ( Thai chicken soup) also plain wonton homemade chicken soup w dumplings ( Can't touch the dumplings )

When I got home I kept moving so I could build up my stamina. I felt tired all the time but rested when I got tired. I limited my time in bed to only sleeping. I took pain meds the first week and was off by week two. I did feel like I was tired all the time for the first month but they said that is normal. Things will get better but be sure you are sipping on liquid all day so you don't get dehydrated.

When I had surgery the diet consisted of broths (low sodium or bone broth) unsweetened juices that were diluted decaffeinated tea or coffee 1% or skim milk and sugar free jello and popsicles. Protein Shakes are not clear so we were told not to drink any at this point and to use the milk to supplement protein for this phase. I was lucky and didn't get bored with the choices as I struggled to get enough liquid in early on. you have to keep sipping on all liquids throughout the day. My favorite broth was swanson and I added some seasonings to it for more flavor like my chicken broth I added cumin and lime to give me some flavor. I did check with my nutritionist before I did this and I know each program is different so you might ask them if you can add seasonings to your broth and if you can you can make some variety.
