Clear Liquid Diet
Phase I – Liquid Diet Guidelines after your operation
You will be on this phase for at least 2 weeks after your surgery. You will feel full from liquids and may not meet your fluid goals the first few days. During this phase you must consume liquid only and avoid all solid foods. Your primary source of energy and protein will be protein shakes.
At your second or pre-surgical office visit with Dr. Belsley, you will take a short quiz so that you can have an additional discussion regarding various important issues prior to your operation. The purpose of the quiz is to assist your understanding and provide a source of conversation regarding the risks and benefits of the procedure. You will also be asked to review, initial and sign a consent form that discusses a number of important possibilities of your operation.
