I was on liquids for four weeks post-op. I was so grateful to move on to purees after four weeks I almost cried after the first tiny spoonful of refried beans. I didn't decide to substitute my judgment for my team's and graduate myself early though -- clearly they are more experienced and better judges of good, healthy eating habits than I am. Otherwise I wouldn't have been the one weighing 350+ lbs and needing bariatric surgery, and they wouldn't be the ones with tons of degrees and expertise in bariatric nutrition.

It can be tough to be on liquids for such a long time, but hang in there, you can do it. This is a great time to also get in the mental habit of following your surgeon's plan rather than doing what you want (or conducting an internet referendum about whether you should do what you want or follow your doctor's orders). Good luck!

My doctor's plan is clear days 1 + 2, liquid plus yogurt for days 3-21, pureed for days 22-35, solid from there out. I am on day 27.

It was a little difficult but I got creative with different types of soup. Tomato bisque, cream of chicken, beef  bone broth, my protein shakes, different types of yogurt. Well you get the idea. I just tried to mix it up as much as possible. It hasn't been too bad at all. Now I'm giving the pureed a swing. Some things have good well other too dry. It's a learning experience.

Have several notes to self already. My biggest challenge is not drinking after eating. Whew that's a tough one. 

Well good luck hope this offers up some encouragement.

I was on liquids for four weeks. Listen to your Drs they know best. Best outcomes without complications. Best weight loss etc etc. Take care. In two months from now this will only feel like it was a fleeting moment in time. 

I know what you are going through.  My surgery date was 3/3 and I am still on liquids too.  My Dr said 2 weeks minimum so doing my best.  Bought some different flavor protein powders online as well as soups to keep me going.  Went to GNC today and got their Isopure drinks to get in 40 grams of protein with relative ease.  Got the Lemonade and mixed half of it with decaf green tea.  The other find, that I sniffed out on this site, is PB2.  It is a peanut butter powder that I mixed with my choc powder to mix it up.  Was really good and a nice change of pace.  Good luck!

Seems like a long time! I haven't heard of anyone being on liquids for 3 weeks. I have surgery 3/29/16 and each phase is one week unless there is a complication.

I was lucky not to ever bee on liquids, except for my 2 week pre-op diet. I was put on soft, mushy foods starting Day 1. I can only imagine it would be difficult for more than 2 weeks! Did you have to do a pre-op liquid diet, as well?
