I had surgery on Thursday morning and my doctor has me on liquids that will go through a strainer for four weeks.

For me, each stage was scheduled for 1 week. But Frankensleeve was kinda cranky and I stayed at the soft foods stage for months. At the 4 week mark, I still wasn't able to eat more than a teaspoon of any full food without LOTS of complaining from Frankensleeve.

So I just stayed on soft foods, and every few days, tried a teaspoon full of some new food till Frankie gave me the all clear signal.

My stages were:

4 weeks full liquids

4 weeks purees

4 months soft foods

Each practice has their own rules. You should get detailed instructions for your plan from your dietician, bariatric nurse, or surgeon.

I do have a meal plan

I am calling my doctor tomorrow because the full liquids aren't keeping me from feeling hungry and I am getting light headed all the time even though I am getting all my fluids. I attempted pureed Soup tonight for dinner and it is the first time in a week that I feel okay and not light headed. I was just wondering if there are other options out there or is it the same thing for everyone set in stone type moment.

That is mine too. Did you have any problems during the full liquids and getting light headed and just feeling really weak all the time?

We don't have an only liquid stage, it's straight on to liquids and puree so a Protein Shake and yogurt, apple sauce, no lump Soup etc for the first 3 weeks, then on to for a few weeks mushy/soft foods like mash potato etc then trying out normal but not tough things like steak etc foods as stomach tolerates.
