Prior to the surgery I was given a booklet by the surgeon that showed me the diet progression in terms of weeks. So I figured I would be eating regular food by the end of June. NOT! I really had a hard time dealing with this disappointment yesterday.
Stage 1 is Clear Liquids for One Week (Done)
Stage 2 is Clear Liquids, Protein Drinks, SF yogurt, Low fat Cottage cheese mashed (chewed until the consistency of toothpaste), pureed vegetable soups (strained, no rice or noodles), thinned/soupy cream of wheat, thinned stage 1 baby foods for 3 Weeks
WTH - 3 Weeks????????
Stage 3 is all the stuff from Stage 1 & 2 and egg beaters (soft/mushy), tuna, canned salmon, etc; for 2 weeks
It's a bit of a head trip knowing I can't eat real food until July. However, I want to be successful with my sleeve.
