I think every Dr is different. I was on 1 week clear, not even Protein, right now on 3 weeks of full liquids. I've not really seen too many with the same diet on here unless they've used the same dr.

Well I eat little things already once a day that are cheating. But I mostly have Protein Shakes, gatorade, yogurt, Water, and the things I cheat with are bites of chicken, 2 or 3 noodles, etc... I chew like 50 times. I may be crazy but the drinks and yogurt make my sleeve hurt but the real food I cheat with always goes down perfectly fine. Hmm. I'm 9 days out

This post-op diet varies soooooo much, it seems.

I am 8 days post op.

I never had to fast two weeks prior. I am on 6 oz Ensure daily with unlimited clear liquids for two weeks. Then two weeks soft foods. Then on to solids.

This two weeks is miserable!!!!! I can't imagine if I had to do this two weeks prior to surgery as well. I'd have jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge by now :-p

I was on clear liquid for 1 week then full liquids. I saw my surgeon on monday and he told me to eat soft foods but to start eating to see what I can tolerate. My nutritionist told me 2 week clears, 2 week full liquid then 4 weeks mush. So, I do a little of everything. I typically will do a Protein Shake in the morning, lunch is usually tuna or chicken salad our egg salad with special k crackers another Protein shake, then at dinner I will do a healthy choice which I can only do a few bites of our a white flaky fish. No pastas, no breads though. I do liquid like crystal light throughout the day. Apparently everyone is different.

Two days after surgery the hospital started me on puréed foods. I was told to stay on puréed diet until my first post op appointment mid-May. I couldn't get anything down the first few days but now i eat lentil and / or black bean Soups everyday, yogurt, cream of wheat and Protein Shakes all day. I take in over 100 g of Protein each day but I am concerned that I'm doing too much too soon.

I am 5 days post-op. I'm 1 week clear liquids, I can hardly get my Water or Protein in. I'm not hungry at all but very weak and have had a constant headache. Caffeine withdraws for sure. Monday I start 2 weeks full liquids and I think I will feel better when I can have drinkable yogurt smoothies SF of course, cottage cheese, creamed Soups, egg custard and pudding. My 3rd phase I start soft moist food to see what I can tolerate. I tried to eat a sf Jello tonight and 2 bites I felt sick and thought to myself did I even chew the jello. It's a whole new way of life.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
