Bndtoslv 292 Posted July 8, 2015 So I'm 8 days out and my plan calls for puree. I've had refried Beans, baked ricotta and tonight about 1 oz of mashed up baked tilapia. No problems. I've also had no problems getting my fluids in. I feel like I should be grateful but I'm almost concerned that it's too easy! Far easier than my lab band food phase in. Can anyone relate?

Bndtoslv 292 Posted July 8, 2015 Congrat I'm eight days out you just gave me a good idea wat to eat for dinner 2nite No problem! Please let me know how it goes! I was surprised it was so easy, granted I was super cautious and only ate a bit weighing and measuring everything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather Birdwell 57 Posted July 8, 2015 I was the same way. I just kept seeing the weight come off and the doc said everything was good. I told the doc short of getting that gurgle when I would drink I felt like all he did was poke me with sticks. He laughed and said that he did but then he cut parts of me out too. Lol. He was great. My recovery was a breeze. Be grateful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrinkingPeach 1,291 Posted July 9, 2015 I agree, be grateful. So many have a rough time. I also didn't have any issues and I continue to do really well as I add things back into my meals. Congrats!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmd0235 38 Posted July 9, 2015 Just want to say I'm jealous of all you people getting to eat "real" food! I'm 9 days out, and my surgeon is super strict, so I'm supposed to be on liquids for a full four weeks. I can't wait to eat beans! Or anything, really.

Heather Birdwell 57 Posted July 9, 2015 My surgeon was awesome and it didn't have a pre op liquid diet and after liquids for two weeks I was cleared to eat whatever I wanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laceygorrell 79 Posted July 9, 2015 I'm 8 days post op and have been craving some scrambled eggs but my plan calls for liquids for 14 days. Next soft foods phase my list for that is really soft chicken, deli lunch meat, cheese, fruits(apples, peaches, pealed) stemmed vegetables, and etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReaderGirl 17 Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I am out on Day 9. I also had a lapband ( I was banded in 2003) and was revised to the Sleeve. I am on 14 days of full liquids and then 2 weeks pureed food then 2 weeks of soft food, then on to real food...I hope! I don't think the doctor is strict I think it is smart. and I also did a 2 week pre op liquid diet. I am able since Day 6 to know drink up to 64 ozs of Water a day. and can drink about 6 to 8 ozs of liquid before I am full. I am wanting some real food, but also having been thru all of this before with my Lapband, I know it will come in time and no need to rush. But I am dreaming of the day I get to try a piece of steak....being I have not had steak , pork or white chicken meat in about 12 years! but I have waited this long, I can wait a little longer. be patient and give your body time to heal.
