Most post-op diets follow the below schedule:

Week one-two: Full liquids (some surgeon's require Clear Liquids for one week or part of one week). Full liquids for me included low-fat yogurt without any chunks of fruit or seeds, broths, Lipton cup of Soup cream of chicken, Protein drinks, milk, 100% fruit juice diluted 50%.

Week Three: pureed foods- anything you can blend to the consistency of baby food. Still no foods with chunks and no solids.

Week Four: Mushies- soft foods. eggs, oatmeal, grits, tuna salad.

Week Five +: Slowly start adding normal foods to diet, paying attention to feeling satisfied.

Keep in mind that the diet is to make sure your band settles properly. The band is sutured in at the top of the stomach and so the diet is used to prevent the stomach from churning (something it does when you eat solid foods). For the safety of your band and future health, you want to follow your post-op guidelines to a T so you don't cause any issues out of the gate.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
