Complaining

Hi All: I am writing in to complain that I am sick of this clear liquid diet finally. It has been almost 2 weeks - sf jello, sf Popsicles, broth, protein powder and water. Ugh. I am post op and it really didn't start bothering me until today. Not craving food but just being annoyed with only these to choose from LOL.

I see the surgeon on Friday and then I get to add smooth yogurt, and milk. Oh boy lol.

Anyone else get sick of this??

I understand! Still, this time really will pass quickly, Nancy! Before you know it you'll have tons of choices. Hang in there!

Wow, I have seen a lot of variations on post op eating plans but 2 weeks on clear liquids is a new one. I was off clear liquids within 24 hours and on full liquids (protein shakes and yogurt) for a month. How are you getting enough protein in to heal?

Either way, this will be a distant memory soon. Don't cave in--you can do it!

I was a week of clear followed by a week of full liquids . . .

for both surgeries . . .

I remember that when I could finally have pureed food, I was so excited. It is hard to have such a limited list of foods. Stick with it a few more days so your stomach can heal properly.
