So when did everyone start eating some food that you actually have to chew?? Also what foods did you start with and how did your sleeve handle it? I am 3 weeks out and am still on liquids, creamy soup(no chunks), sf pudding, yogurt(no fruit) and Protein shakes! I am sick of this stage and am so ready for something different!

Well - this isn't a popular course of action but I was eating many solid foods at 3 weeks and now at 5 weeks I eat anything I want. The only things that have bothered me are salad and food that is very sweet or really rich.

I came back from MX with no real guidelines so I made my own.

Of course, you should follow your Dr's recommendations but as soon as you can try some scrambled eggs, cream of wheat, maybe some oatmeal etc. Pretty much anything becomes puree if you chew it long enough:)

Thank you!! I called my dr and his nurse told me that he likes for us to wait 4 weeks. I told her that I had done really well on every thing so far and was ready to try something else, she told me he liked for us to wait but I wanted to try I could but if it didnt go good to go back to what I am doing! I ready but really nervous!

I ate a scrambled egg for the first food I tried. Just chew it really well and take your time. I still struggle with this and I've been eating soft foods for almost 3 weeks now. I was used to eating really fast Pre-surgery! I got horrible "slimes" from eating eggs too fast in my first week. The slimes were miserable and luckily I've never experienced it since!

How far out were you when you started eating food?

I'm 5 weeks out and have been on soft foods for a week. I have one more week of soft then on to regular food. Yay! My first soft food was an one egg omelet with cheese. Yummy. I have had no issues at all with food. I've been eating for lunch and sometimes dinner 2oz of paper thin sliced turkey ( lunch meat) with 1 oz slice of muenster cheese roll it up yum. Fills me up.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
