One thing I've learned on this forum is that every doctor has different diet restrictions and recommendations. That being said, I think it is very important to listen to your surgeon and be as compliant as possible with what he or she wants you to follow.

My doctor had me on Clear Liquids for week one, full liquids for week two, introducing mushy food in week three, then some pureed foods by week four (though my doctor advised against pureed meats). Granted, just because you're given a green light to introduce something doesn't mean you'll be completely converted to that food and letting go of the previous stage. For me, I could only introduce a few mushy foods (cottage cheese, yogurt) once a day or so and was still doing mostly clear or full liquids in week three; and then in week four I will still increasing my mushy foods while just starting to introduce pureed/soft foods (eggs) a few times during the week. It will take time for the stomach to adapt to the new things you are introducing after liquids.

I could not do solid foods like shrimp or sashimi until week five, and even then I was "full" off two shrimp or two pieces of salmon sashimi. Definitely could not do any fried foods or anything with flour, which a lot of New Orleans dishes have (i.e. jambalaya sauce, gumbo, etc.)

For travel/vacation, I highly recommend taking Protein powder (like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Nectar) and a Blender Bottle to easily mix with Water for Protein supplementation.

I am two Weeks out and after next week i'm on soft foods but I have healed very quickly and I have had zero problems i'm not on an antacid and I've had zero reflux, no gas aids or anything. I feel like I did prior to surgery. Every Dr is different my Dr allows me to eat scrambled eggs, oat meal, soft what noodles and things like that.

I am also 2 weeks out today and eating purees, oatmeal, eggs, soft cheeses and other soft foods.

I too will be on soft food in between weeks 2-3 as tolerated. Then can try solids. I think a lot of pre op and post op diets are different per your doctor. Some days I can do instant potatoes and other days I can't. Everyone is different. I am also healing quickly and have no other medical issues.
