I had surgery 11/6/12 and today is 11/10 and I ate runny mash potatoes and hummus. I felt fine but don't know if I'm pushing the limit?

That sounds too quick to me. I can only have Clear Liquids until day 13. Then it is things like yogurt and sugar free pudding. So, I would scale back big time. It might feel ok, but it may still be dangerous to your sleeve.

I know that my doctor said I could have cream of wheat and mash potatoes but it just seems too soon. I know every doc is different but what I research it all says liquids only.

hey i'm no doctor but i am on liquids for 2 weeks before i can even graduate to mushies. i know every surgeon is different but i'm confused why they would push you on mashed potatoes of all things...that's starch, starch turns into sugar, then sugar turns into the fat. i would think he would throw something with a little more Protein in there. after liquid stage i can have sf pudding, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese bananas, light stuff like that. go with your gut feeling on this one :) hope you are doing well and healing nicely sleeve sista~ how are you doing with liquids? do you feel wicked full off of them

I went for my one week post op and the doctor said I was ok to go from clear liquids at 9 days (surgery was 11/2). I have stuck to super high Protein foods and still Protein Shakes. I think the hummus is a good choice but the mashed only work if ou are adding Protein Powder

I don't feel full off liquids, they hurt more then the mushy stuff. Thats why I'm confused, they even served me cream of wheat in the hospital on the last day. I think I will stick to more liquid and Protein Shakes.< /p>

Cream of wheat is fine on full liquids. If you like savory make some Soups and puréed to taste.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
