Same as me, sleeved on the 19th & have 4 weeks of liquids. Two on clears, and 2 on fulls. My surgeon includes skim milk with clear liquids & ended up OK-ing me to add liquid yogurt since I was having some diarrhea problems. I go tomorrow for my 2 week check-up & I have this fantasy that they'll tell me I can skip right to puree, since I'm doing so well. Haha...probably not a chance in hell!

I had 10 days of liquids,(jello & popsicles included) and then 2 weeks of soft foods. I will be a month out next week and I can resume a normal diet. I didn't have to do purees. I have had no intolerances, nausea, or vomiting. I was also told no baths or swimming pools for ten days post op. Isn't it crazy that we are all being told such different things?

I start purée food Friday and have seriously thought about not eating Thursday and then at mid-night going to Waffle House for cheese grits (or grit if that is all I can hold) and an egg. Just SO sick of the sweet stuff.

Hey guys! I am so happy for everyone and I know we have all made this decision to better our quality of life.

I had my 2 weeks checkup today. The doctor was very happy with the 28 lbs I have lost since beginning my pre-op diet to now. Surgery was June 19th.

I was cleared to swim in the pool and lake. He said that I do not need to soak in the lake or stay longer than an hour. I can get in and sit in a tube or float. He said I can purchase waterproof bandages if I want to overkill it. He said my incisions are completely healed on the inside and outside. I can also take a bath. He said that would help the bandages fall off. I do still have strips on my incisions and I keep cutting them back. He said they would completely fall off within the week.

I also have left side pain still. He said that is a stitch in my left incision that is causing the pain. The stitch will dissolve and I may feel a pop and not to worry.

I am able to get in my 60g of Protein daily. I was worried because I do not have to sip at all. I can take normal drinks and I feel like I did before surgery without the hunger feelings. It is very odd. He said that is normal and that liquid would not stretch my stomach out.

In one week I can move to mushy foods. I am allowed the following foods starting next Wednesday and do this for three weeks:

applesauce

eggs

yogurt

cottage cheese

thin lunch meat

2% string cheese

any ground meat

tuna

canned chicken

cooked veggies

bananas

I am not limited to just this but if I do anything else it needs to be of the same consistency as these foods. I feel like the list is perfect for three weeks. If any human can make it for three weeks on liquids then this is like thanksgiving dinner!!! LOL

After 6 weeks I can have raw veggies and fruit.< /p>

I'm 8 days post...I've noticed that my sips are getting larger..not like my preop gulps, but no longer my in the hospital bird like sips...maybe this is because the swelling in my sleeve is going down?

I think this means, for me anyway that as time passes I'll have to be careful not to drink my calories at Starbucks and counteract all the hard work my sleeve and I do when it comes to food choices..

Anyone notice that depending on the consistency of what your eating you have more or less capacity?

(Ex greek yogurt I can only 4oz Protein shake I can eat 6oz in the same amount of time)

Yes. I can get about 4oz of meats in but I can eat a 5.3 oz Greek yogurt and a piece of string cheese in one sitting. I think it deals with how easy and fast it can process through your stomach. Strait up liquids I can drink almost unending with pacing.
