What did your doctor recomend? They had to send you home with a plan . So many are different. I wouldn't want to see you get advice that is not appropriate for you or that conflicts with your doctors . I can only tell you that I was on clear liquids for 4 weeks and full liquids for 2 more. My doctor defined clear liquids as anything you can see through. Broth , water, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles , flat diet gingerale,crystal lite, things like that. I don't think the main objective of this post op diet was to get full, it was to allow the new pouch , intestine and stoma a chance to heel. I had open Rny. I didn't look to see what surgery you had.Good luck. If you still have questions , why not call your doctor in the morning so they can clarify this for you.

For my RNY gastric bypass, I will be on 3 tablespoons of pureed meat 3 times a day and lots of liquids, preferrably with a protein supplement in it, but not for 15 minutes before a meal, during a meal, and not for an hour after a meal. OF COURSE DO WHAT YOUR DOCTOR TELLS YOU TO DO. Not just what you might read here. Your doctor should be there to help you with any questions you have.
