Liquid Stage
The liquid stage is where your transformation begins — whether you’re preparing for surgery or healing afterward. These recipes are designed to support hydration, nourishment, and recovery through high-protein shakes, broths, and smooth blends that are gentle on your stomach but rich in nutrition. During the pre-op phase, liquids help your body get surgery-ready; during recovery, they help you heal, hydrate, and rebuild strength from within.
Disclaimer: Always follow your surgeon’s specific dietary plan for the liquid stage. Every doctor recommends different foods and timelines. If any recipe or ingredient listed here isn’t approved for you, please do not incorporate it until your surgeon advises it’s safe to do so.
