How soon did everyone start eating solids or even soft foods. I am one week out and I'm suppose to still be doing liquids and my funnel diet which includes scrambled eggs and Greek yogurt and broths for another week. but the nurses keep telling me I can slowly start eating regular foods now. I'm scared and don't want to mess anything up.

Week 3.

This is my doctors nutrition plan post surgery:
Phase 1 thin liquids: 1 week
Phase 2 thick liquids: 2 weeks
Phase 3 purees: 2 weeks
Phase 4 soft foods: 2 weeks
So basically I have almost 6 weeks post surgery before I can eat regular solids again. [emoji21][emoji21]
My plan seems to be fairly strict compared to others, but every doctor is different. I would follow the plan that was given to you by your doctor.

I know it depends on the surgery and Dr. I had a Lapband revision with Gastric bypass. Mine is:
Week 1 Clear Liquids
Week 2 and 3 Full liquids
Week 4 and 5 pureed
Week 6 Soft for 6 weeks, then "regular" High Protein, low carb, low fat.

I couldn't have any solids and I still can't. I'm 3 weeks out. I want some eggs. All I can have is broth, cream Soups, sugar Jello /pudding, grits, sugar free Popsicles, oatmeal and cream of wheat, Protein Shakes, and skim milk.

My body doesn't agree with oatmeal, cream of wheat and milk right now.

I was on clear liquids in the hospital... once out I was on full liquids until about week when I had my first check up with doctor and nutritionist then I was put on purée. Then in 2 weeks I'll be on soft foods which is almost same as purée just more choices.. Good Luck Sleevers we got this!

My post op diet lasts for 3 months. My doctor provided me with a sleeve guide that he wrote himself which is like my bible. It has detailed guidelines for what I should be eating when and I am so grateful for it. It really takes a lot of the guess work out of it, I can just open up my sleeve manual and know what to eat. It even has sample menus for days from each phase. I am in my 4th week now and just started soft foods. I am definitely enjoying my journey it's given me a really great challenge and I get to put my cooking skills to the test coming up with really tasty Soups and purées. My soups come out so good my grandmother and aunt have started eating with me and they lost some weight as well. Just take it easy and enjoy the journey you'll be eating back to normal before you know it.

My doctor cleared me for stage three soft foods after two week post op. It's working great. Just gotta chew chew chew to purée consistency. I can't imagine eating full liquids for another week. I'd probably just starve myself.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
