Hi there- I am now advancing to the second phase of post op. I had my procedure last week and it has not been at all fun just being on Clear Liquids. Any good suggestions out there as to what I can look forward in this 2nd phase??
Thanks

The programs are all so different that it really depends on the preferences of your surgeon/team. I received a whole bound book covering what is and is not allowed.

My program requires Protein Shakes, clear liquids and greek yogurt for the first two weeks, advancing to pureed foods after that for the next 4 weeks.. On purees, I can have chicken, fish, Beans, tofu, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, some cooked veggies and fruits well as the clear liquids stuff. They want 4-5 meals per day consisting of no more than 1/4 cup of the above. I also have 1-2 Protein shakes to meet protein goals. Unlike many on here eggs, oatmeal and avocados are not allowed.

I go back in 2 weeks and then start solid foods. I am a little worried about the Proteins because the pureed ones are a bit hard to get down without adding liquid (broth, yogurt, mayo) to the food processer. I did some pureed baked salmon yesterday that was great!!

Good luck!!

I didn't really have a Clear Liquids phase post-op, but I know I was sick of not having any texture or anything. I went from full liquids to purees. I remember my surgeon telling me that when I went to purees I could have applesauce and it would "be the best applesauce you've ever had." He wasn't kidding---so nice to have something other than liquid!

At full liquids, you should be doing Protein Shakes, greek yogurt, maybe some thinned cream Soups. You'll like having more savory options---I was so sick of always tasting sweet, which was weird because I have such a sweet tooth!

Good luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
