That my friend is a long time on clear liquids, but  I am so glad you are staying the course!  I is just a few more days, you can do it!  When you hit full-liquids it will feel like a world of options opened up to you.  Many, by the way, do not "feel" restriction on full liquids.  No worries if this happens to you- you will once you get to the point you can eat lean protein.  

Hang in there, it is so so worth it!

I'm 12 days post op, still on clear liquids til Thursday... and I just cheated. I am not irritable, happily for others around me, but I am very hungry. I ate 2 tablespoons of hummus. I needed something different. I am sitting here however feeling guilty. Happily I am not feeling sick. I am glad I made a 'good' choice but the last few days of clears have been torturous not only from a "this again?" standpoint but also from a "seriously I am HUNGRY" standpoint. Anyway, I'm proud as heck of you for staying the course. I couldn't do it and I'm disappointed in myself.

Lol! Don't feel guilty, hummus was a good choice. I'm glad you didn't get sick!

Please don't cheat- it is designed to let your stomach heal.  Plans are different though.  I was allowed full liquids after getting out of the hospital, but hummus would not have counted as a full liquid.  Don't hurt yourself!!!!!

You are doing so well, I know it's hard because I'm still on clear liquids as well.  But just think about the reward you will have for following your liquid diet until Friday.  Physically and Mentally you'll feel great, I'm sure.  Nice job, keep up the good work angry
