Isn't it strange how the different doctors have different lengths of each stage of diet and what they include? Insurance is so different about this too! For instance, How many visits to nutritionist pre surgery? Only psych eval or multi visits required? How much time before you are allowed to have the surgery? Classes required pre op and post op? When start diet, how long before surgery? Do you have to loose a certain amount before surgery? How long liquid diet and what does that mean? Clear Liquids how long? Full liquids how long? Soft foods how long? When Can you start trying regular food again? How many oz of Protein a day starting what day then working up to some other number or all at once? Really! so many differences but same results...mostly...right?

An egg? Wow! I was excited about my fruit smoothie and "blended soup" additions. It is interesting how different our protocols are. I guess that is why they call it "practicing" medicine. Each surgeon prescribes the plan s/he thinks best, but there is no pat answer for all patients. Now that I'm thinking about it, it kind of reminds me of the art of parenting.

I am a 12/3 girl. I enjoyed my cream of mushroom Soup for supper. No more clear liquids for this girl. Felt full of energy yesterday..not so much today..taking my anti depressant and anti anxiety meds is no fun..its like doing a shot of the worst alcohol but having to sip it..yuck

Oh that is awful! I get to take pills starting today...well tomorrow actually. Opps it is midnight so that would be today! I tried some special mushroom Soup with extra Protein added already. It was bad! Did you just have regular mushroom soup or a special brand?

Got out of house and did shopping tonight and that was fine...but went to IHOP to eat and got sick. 6 bites is too many of an omelette should have stopped with 4. This going to take some learning to learn to eat so much less...but after my experience tonight I am very motivated!!! :-)

@Kellee2012 Did ur doc say anything abt ur meds slowing weight loss? I'm on Paxil n scared my weight may b from it so I'm worried that I wont lose weight

[Kellee2012 4]

I tAke Paxil and Buspirone. I have lost 26# since 11/19. 10# on preop diet and 16# since sleeved on 12/3..getting them down is a bear...eventually I will be able to swallow them with Water. Right now Im.blending them with my milk and Protein drink...yuck..I dont believe they have anything to do with successful weight loss

I had my sleeve on 12/5 and am still on the clear liquid diet too. I'm hoping when I go to the dr on Thursday, he'll let me go on to full liquids. Oh, what a difference some pudding and yogurt would be, lol. I think it's awesome to find a place like this to be able to ask questions and read what everyone else has to say. TO US! The December babies!

It is funny that we all get anxious about moving onto the next phase of food. I didnt think I would make it through clear liquids..now I cant wait until Monday for soft solids. ahhhh..a piece of string cheese..is going to be fabulous and more Protein
