No, full liquids. But I keep hearing about other people who get to move on to the puréed stage much quicker. I am soooo tired of Protein Shakes and plain yogurt. I just want something hot that isn't broth lol.

I feel your pain, I was sleeved on 1/28, and according to my after care directions I got I am still on liquids till this coming Sunday. Then I can move on to soft foods and purees..... I like my Protein shake, but I am ready for something with a different taste and more filling. I go for my checkup tomorrow and I am going to ask if I can start early......lol the only thing I can do for now is wait it out.....

I have 21 days of clear liquids and move to mushies on day 22. My dr is conservative so therefore...so am I. I have had an amazingly successful process so far, so intend to do exactly what he says, when he says. Tonight is my first preop support group meeting and it, among a ton of other activities, keep me busy so that i do not find myself thinking about what i dont yet get to have. This is just me doing what i think is right and i know not everyone feels driven to follow their doctor's orders, so to each their own. I just figure that i had a very dangerous relationship with food before, so why rush it now. I want it to be the fuel i dump in my engine to make it run in top condition, not the stuff i focus on every waking moment anxiously awaiting my next bite. No thank you mame!

Can't even imagine what your feeling but look at things this way; Would you rather something your not supposed to have and have a bad reaction? or just wait and hold on a little longer and you can have it all again in moderation...time, it heals everything :wub:

Yes I'm still on my full liquid phase...and I can have runny sugar free pudding, watered down low fat cream soups...although I haven't really been eating those because they fill me up and don't have much Protein...I can also have yogurt which is really delicious. I get the low fat yogurt and mix in my nectar vanilla torte Protein powder...I eat about a half cup throughout the day...it is really yummy.

I'm pretty sure you can have all that stuff too!

I am on full liquids till Monday (will be 2-weeks worth). My savior has been the strained cream Soups. I add the powered milk to the milk I add to the Soup to increase the Protein. I can only get about a 1/2 cup in but it satisfies the savory need since all my Protein Shakes taste so sweet!

I was sleeve 1/28 also and my doc wont let me go to puree/soft foods until next Monday which means waiting 2 full weeks. I am mentally remaining strong because I have to remember in my case poor eating habit when I got in my 30's and being an emotional eater is why I had to have surgery so Im fighting to stay strong and I keep busy. So you are not alone on waiting 2-3 weeks before moving off liquids. Good luck and dont give up.

I'm in the UK, on day 15 of the liquid diet and was advised to do four weeks. I'm so bored of the diet but my surgeon advised me I can have Soup as long as I Water it down, it needed to flow from a cup like water. This has helped as I've been able to try different Soups but some days I barely eat as everything makes me nauseas. I'm still experiencinf pain down my right side from the internal stitches but on the plus side I've lost 24 pounds since the pre op diet :-)

      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.
