okay so i had my dietary consultation a lil while ago....anyway, i got my 6 week post-op diet...NO LIQUID DIET!!!! pureed food :D but i noticed averyone around here, it seems like, hs had to to do a liquid diet. anyone here not have to do the liquid diet? and if not how'd it go? any problems?

Hello! Do you really have to be on a pureed diet for 6 ENTIRE weeks!??! Whoa nelly!!! lol!!! I wonder why all surgeons have such different requirments..... ~Amy

remember i dont have to do any liquid diet...and how long do you have to be on the liquid diet?

That's strange, before coming to this website I never knew anyone had to go on any special diet before the surgery. I had my surgery at 8:30AM and the only thing I had to do was stop eating and drinking after 12AM the night before. I never realized how lucky I was! Sarah

same here... its the POST op diet that confuses me :/

I had to do all liquids for 5 days before surgery. That is mostly to shrink your liver so that your surgeon has more room to operate. I'm sure the same thing can happen with a 6 week pureed diet. Are you limited on what kind of pureed foods you can eat?

not really, like i cant have gas producing veggies cuz ill be in pain after surgery...um... ya know skim or 1% milk and producs, etc
