joatsaint 2,814 Posted March 30, 2014 I was only on each phase for 1 week before allowed full foods. But my new stomach didn't like real food for at least 2 months. The 1st week, I only ate sugar free Popsicles and drank Water. I mostly ate Cream of Mushroom Soup after the 1st week and for the following 3 weeks. When I moved onto soft foods, it was scrambled eggs\egg salad\refried beans\super finely chopped chicken. I stayed on soft foods for months and added in solid food here and there till Frankensleeve would tolerate more regular foods. Now my diet revolves around pork loin/lentils/black beans/turkey meat/chicken. I do go out and eat whatever I want for 1 meal per week. And I do eat the occasional snack at work. I haven't eaten fast food in 16 months and don't miss it. I don't want to come off as some kind of ant-fast food purist, it's just that my whole mental outlook on food changed after surgery and I don't have the cravings I had pre-surgery.

kyleebean 209 Posted March 31, 2014 Everyone's plan is so different. I was eating pureed food before I left the hospital (I was there for 4 days) and progressed rather quickly from pureed to soft and then normal~ all within 6 weeks. I tolerated everything really well. Follow what they tell you regardless. Honestly, I wasn't hungry at all until 8 weeks out and nothing, NOTHING, tasted right. I lived on refried Beans and Amy's lentil soup!
