I was on real food 8 days after surgery. My doctor didn't have a purée stage because he wanted us to start eating ASAP. I was sleeved on 12/21. I could eat eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, yogurt, beans, and cheese. There are more items this is just a quick list. I am not going to tell you what you need to do just what my doctor had me do.

So how is everyone doing. I got up to 6,000 steps today (this was a personal best since I got my fitbit) and I am excited for what the future holds. Eating chicken, fish, turkey, and a lot of protein drinks. It has been two weeks and two days since my surgery.

Finally had 2oz of hummus, and it was amazing. I bought some Musclepharm combat Protein Powder Cookies and cream shake and mixed 1/2 scoop with a cup of decaf instant coffee, it was like having a Starbucks coffee. Tomorrow is my post surgery education meeting and I get to know what I can finally eat. Down 15 lbs since surgery on the 21st. Glad the scale is finally moving in the right direction. Also, first day with hardly any pain, I could even lay on my stomach. I finally am feeling more like myself just a little lighter. So far day 8 is the best.

I had my sleeve on the 21st as well. I have gas and am afraid to drink too fast. I only get about 50 oz of water in a day but it is very hard. I also have this horrible taste in my mouth, yuck. I can finally have protein but don't know how slow I have to drink it.
