Hi, Cynthia! Yes, I got a meal plan from my doctor. It's very, very simple.

For the first 2 days, it's clear liquids. Then:

Weeks 1-2: pureed protein, 3 Tbs 3x/day; bariatric vitamin

Weeks 3-4: 1.5-2 oz. of soft, moist protein (meat, eggs, fish, poultry) 3x/day/ bariatric multivitamin

Weeks 5-6: All protein allowed--2 serving 3x/day; bariatric multivitamin

Weeks 7-8: 2-2.5 ounces protein 3x/day; bariatric multivitamin

Week 9: 2.5 ounces protein 3x/day; bariatric multivitamin

Week 10-11: 2.5-3 ounces protein 3x/day, add 1/2 cup nonstarchy veggies 1x/day; bariatric multivitamin

Week 12: 3 ounces protein 3x/day, 1/2 cup nonstarchy veggie 1x/day' bariatric multivitamin
