No clear liquids the first week?
So I started rereading my surgeons list of things to eat after surgary. I am used to everyone talking about clear liquids the first week and full liquids the next but it looks like its full liquids for me for the first two weeks. Below is the list of things I can have in addition to the protien shakes. Anyone else have something like this?

I am on full liquids, but nothing like that. I can have yogurt with no chunks, soup broths, 2% milk w/Carnation (Im living on it, it helps the protein, esp if you use hood calorie countdown) a few protein drinks (I am struggling with them again, the consistency just blechs me out) and thats about it. Pudding cups, popsicles, LIQUIDS. I cant wait till Friday, Im hoping haddock is considered a soft food. Maybe the difference is that yours was lap band and mine was rny?
