On my plan sashimi was considered a soft food. I could start having it 2 weeks out. I has some raw tuna at 4 weeks and I was fine. I don't normally eat raw oysters so I didn't ask about that.

I am not allowed bread until I hit maintenance. ketchup is also a no-no there's a ton of sugar in most ketchups.

I was allowed salads starting at 4 weeks.

I am 9 weeks post op. I gave up Protein Shakes after 4 weeks when I was allowed to, I'm not a huge milk drinker. I get all of my Protein with food. Typically I have 2 eggs for Breakfast with turkey sausage. If I don't have that then it's 3/4 of non-fat greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of nuts and 1/4 of berries. tuna with salad for lunch and some sort of protein with a vegetable for dinner. I'll have 1/4-1/2 cup of fruit after lunch. I'm not a big snacker but I'm fortunate that I can 4 ounces of protein typically so I don't need to snack. I usually come in at 650-750 a day.

I was cleared for the gym at my 2 week appointment. Everything but heavy lifting.

I was told beef was a no no until 3-4 months post op. Maybe that is what caused it?

I was sleeved. I can eat 4 ounces of Protein and a 1/4 cup of vegetables, which is what my plan calls for. I am not stuffed but I am satisfied. I do get hungry but mainly at meal times. It's not the overwhelming hunger I used to feel before. My doctor and NUT both have said that this "normal".

I am 6 weeks post op too and haven't had anything that's made me ill either. I did have a bout of nausea a few weeks ago but was told that was more related to hormonal changes. I also think it was connected to all the milk I was drinking with my shakes. I usually don't drink milk at all and my dairy intake pre op was quite small. Once I got out of the shakes phase I've been fine.

Sugary drinks are NOT allowed. Who told you that? Some diluted juice is allowed assuming that it would be in VERY limited quantities. Please do not add honey agave sugar corn Syrup molasses or any other sweetner to your drinks or food. In fact you should have thrown all of those things away prior to surgery. Please throw them away now. Please also go throw away anything with more than 5 grams of sugar per serving. Please do not buy these things again. Then go out and get yourself some truvia or some organic stevia packets and have a nice day. If tea burns then stop drinking tea.

How are fake sugars any better than a small amount of honey? Your body has the same reaction to them.

I had 7. I thought it was going to be 5 from all the videos they made me watch.

I had a procedure where they wouldn't let me take an Uber home by myself. There physically had to be someone there.

I was told no laxatives because your body can become dependent on them. So I've been using Colace 3 times a day and dealing with it. I don't go everyday like I used to but I eventually go.

I was told only 1 finger had to be clear of polish or acrylic. I was never told to take off everything.

I don't have a rash either.

I can eat 2 scrambled. I was sleeved 5/24 and am on the soft food diet.

I was sleeved on 5/23 and can also eat 2 scrambled eggs. I've also been able to eat 3-4 ounces of Protein and not feel stuffed or sick. Just satisfied. Everyone around here has me wondering if I'm doing it all wrong.

I am almost 3 weeks post op and the itching on my stomach has been unbearable. I finally bought some benadryl yesterday and it helped tremendously. Apparently our bodies produce histamine to aid with healing.

I am 10 days post op and I still have painful gas. Walking, spirometer, and gas-x helped a lot.

My pain mostly stays in my stomach. But what you are describing sounds like the description of gas that the nurse gave me. Mine just doesn't travel.

Hi, I also had surgery the same day. I just found this message board 2 days ago. My insurance company required 3-4 months pre-op with no specific weight loss required. I started off at 341 lbs and was 328 on the say of surgery. I am on clear liquids and 3 Protein shakes a day until next week. Then I go down to 2 Protein Shakes and soft foods for 1 meal for another 2 weeks.

My recovery has been pretty unremarkable which I am surprised and grateful for. My biggest issue right now is gas pains that happen at night. Luckily gas-x helps with that.
