How Many Weeks Were You Out From Surgery When Your Doctor Started You On Soft Foods?

Just wonderning because I know that doctors have their different paths for their WLS patients.

The plan my surgeon uses has me switching gradually to soft foods starting at 3 weeks. He emphasizes the gradual part... very important to go slow and respect how the change in texture makes me feel.

After reading several posts, it seems my doctor utilizes an extra slow process. I had my sleeve Nov. 21 and had to do two weeks of Clear Liquids. I'm on my first week of pureed and have to do it next week, too. I can start soft foods on week four and that phase lasts a whole two months!

Mine was 5 days all clears, up to 10 days clears but with Protein shakes made with Water only was ok.

Day 11-20 was full liquids

Day 20-30 was Mushies / Purees

30+ Was allowing back in regular foods though I did take my time. I would start with one regular meal but the rest would be mushies or Protein Shakes. Dr. Aceves made me a very small stomach. LOL

GL!!

My doc's program is mush/puree/soft Proteins from the outset as tolerated, along with the usual Soups, Protein Drinks and Water, water, water. That worked fine for me, and I wasn't going to argue with his twenty or so years of sleeve experience. My wife was a little slower to progress on the same basic plan a few years ago. but that's just individual variations.
