Hey, ShelterDog64 - my surgery was on 6/22. I could not get through the liquid phase. I was starving. I talked to my nutritionist and she said to go ahead and start incorporating soft foods as tolerated. It was heaven! I needed to chew something and now I am. I've had chicken salad, chunky Soups, oatmeal and cream of wheat. Another thing that really helped was juicing. My fav recipe is called Wingman - you can google it. I really struggled with the Protein Shakes making me nauseous. Talk to your nutritionist ( if you have one). No need to suffer! Good luck. Sent from my LGLS990 using the BariatricPal App

Jeez, people, get off her back! I think your surgeon us crazy - a month of Clear Liquids? I was sleeved 6/22 and suffered hunger pains really badly. I talked to my nutritionist and surgeon. Both agreed I could intro soft foods as I could tolerate them. Chew if you need to chew - think high Protein. Good luck!

Hey, Dana. I'm 46 a mom and teacher. I am also not the most conventional sleever. I was sleeved 6/22/16. I'll help if you want a rebel point of view. Sent from my LGLS990 using the BariatricPal App

Hi,
I am new to this site and the forums. I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on August 10th, and I am terrified.
I am looking for a mentor to help me through this process. Some one who has already been where I am going would help tremendously.
I am 47, a mom, a grad student, and ready for this change in my life
