Hi there

Congrats on your surgery firstly... the big step is over and done with. Secondly did you not get info from a nutritionist at all?

You're 10 days out from surgery I think, so far too soon to be on solids.

If you do a search on the board you'll find several dietary guidelines which might help.

As a rough idea I had to do:

First 10 days post op - clear liquids (which included skimmed milk, no added sugar fruit juice but not citrus ones), clear soups and Optifast shakes.

Days 10 to 20 - Full liquids - soups with no lumps in yoghurts and all of the above.

The next 7 days - Mushies and all of the above

Day 28 for the next 7 days - Soft foods - chicken, fish, eggs, and all of the above.

Day 35 onwards - normal foods but still no alcohol until 2nd month, and no gassy liquids or caffeine.

I hope this helps - it is just a guide and you'll see various different ones on the forum, but at least you'll get an idea of roughly where you are.

Don't over do your sleeve, you've worked hard to get where you are and don't want to risk a leak or anything getting caught in it and infection setting in.

Good luck.
