Different stages of food

[RJCmommy 2]

I am curious about others and what stages for liquids/foods were recommended for them.

Mine are as follows, in order, varying lengths of time:

1-2 weeks Clear liquids

2-4 weeks modified liquids

2-4 weeks Puréed foods

2-4 weeks Soft foods

So if all goes well and according to this, it will be 7 weeks at the earliest for soft foods!

What does everyone else's look like? Anyone similar?

Thanks!

It seems every surgeon has different rules and plans for their patients. If you search this site you will find many related posts asking this question. We all have struggled to get through our plans, and for me, it just seems like a distant memory, very faded memory........ Almost 5 months post sleeve and I am still eating slow and carefully. Every day is a new day! Good luck with your plan. Linda

My guidelines:

Day 1-3: Clear Liquids

Day 4-14 (Week 1 & 2): Full Liquids

Day 15-28 (Week 3 & 4): Pureeds

Day 29-42 (Week 5 & 6): Soft **where I'm at right now**

Day 43-56 (Week 7 & 8): Regular

and then regular food from then on. It will only be the meal size that increases. It starts at 1/4 cup and it will eventually be 1-1 1/2 cups at a year out.

But every surgeon has their own guidelines.
