I went to pureed foods with chunk at 2.5 weeks instead of 4. I eat super slow and chew the heck out of my bites and it works for me. Not that I would go out and recommend it to anybody, I mean, it is called cheating!

I think of 'cheating' in terms of partaking of forbidden/bad food choices rather than advancing the stages. I realize the swelling and healing prohibits eating dense food early for good reasons - don't risk damaging the sleeve. The two examples posted so far are just advancing sooner, most likely based on the individual's tolerance this first week with just liquids.

I am 5 days sleeved, today I did stick blend then strain a chicken vegetable Soup, thinned it w Bone Broth. Cream soups/milk products are week 2 and puree for my plan is week 3, soft mushy week 4. I am tolerating an 11oz 30gr shake in 15 minutes and on no pain meds since Thursday.

I just want to caution everyone.. advancing too rapidly can potentially cause a leak. (Not picking on any of these examples specifically.. but just a general warning).

While the stomach is healing, it is vulnerable. Better safe than sorry!

Well as for me, there is no way I am going to put anything remotely solid or dense in there until I am supposed to. My strained/blended Soup had no noodles or anything like that - mostly some carrots and a couple green Beans. As much as some tuna sounds sooo good I am not a gambler. I will suffer the the damn Protein Drinks as long as required - besides I already bought them, may as well consume them.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
