I went to my favorite taco restaurant and had my favorite tacos (with jalapeño bacon) and margaritas.

Interesting. I guess none of our plans have hurt us yet. I'm enjoying the quick pace of mine. Sent from my SM-S975L using the BariatricPal App

We had surgery the same day, and I've lost about 11 pounds from my surgery day weight. I'm going to try to abide by my guidelines, but if I feel uncomfortable I'll be back there with you. I've been drinking these Protein shakes to get them down, but I'm so sick of them. The compression band is an excellent idea. Where did you get yours?

I have 2 weeks liquids
2 weeks puréed
My friend (diff nutritionist) said liquids, but then puréed the day you get home.
I'm gonna be brave / careless and wait a week total and go puréed. Worst case I just back off of it

A lot of people don't have Clear Liquids the first week. I don't even understand clear liquids anyway since most people are told in that time period to have Protein shakes which aren't clear liquids anyway.
A lot of programs differ, depending on the Dr. A lot of them don't keep up on current research so they keep the same old rules and a lot of programs keep the same rules for everyone.
In my program everyone is given the same guidelines in their books, but when you talk one on one, they tailor what you are eating for your medical needs and surgery. So some people with the sleeve get stuck with the same dietary restrictions as someone who had bypass.
I'd skip the wheat thins, but I don't think your diet progression is out of the ordinary. At least you are allowed Protein, unlike some of the other "post-op diets".

I'm a sleever like you.
My post-op program was similar to yours, although 60 grams was the early minimum of Protein set for me, and I hit that on Day Five. I also was drinking chocolatey Protein drinks very early on. Other early sources of Protein were powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Protein powder in chicken broth. pureed and soft and pureed food phases went pretty fast and started around Week Three. My doc even let me have a little coffee starting at Day 10.

I've been looking around the forums at other sleevers' post op diet progressions, and mine seems unique. I was advised to get more Protein in the first week than most people were (about 90g, then drop to 60g the seconds week.) I was on full liquids as soon as I left the hospital. I'm supposed to be on soft foods (no purees) starting the second week, which would mean I'd start those either later today or tomorrow. My diet even has Wheat Thins under soft foods. Those make me nervous, so I plan to leave those for later. I have an extremely reputable surgeon, so I trust his entire team. I just think the diet differences are pretty wide. I'm supposed to be on soft foods when some people are still on Clear Liquids.
Did anyone have a similar diet progression for VSG?

That makes sense. In my pre op class they separated the advice for bypass and sleeve, but put it in parallel on the same handout.. The bypass folks are on purees this week and there is a big side note for them not to eat the wheat thins.

I had the sore throat after surgery as well. The nurse had to stop me from drinking too fast. Everything else felt like not much had happened. I didn't have any reflux or anything. I'm supposed to get over 90 grams of Protein a day in the first week, so I drink 3 Bariatric Advantage shakes a day. That has roughly 90 grams. I tried the nectar shakes on the first day and couldn't choke enough of them down. I was discharged about a half hour after they woke me up from surgery, so I was only there for a few hours total. I barely had any discomfort or anything, since I stayed on top of the pain meds. Overall the only struggle is making myself drink these shakes.

I'm doing pretty well. Drinking my Protein and walking a lot. How are you doing?

I'm getting my sleeve surgery June 17th in Atlanta, GA. My pre operation appointment is tomorrow. I've been lurking for a month for so, so I thought I would go ahead and join and introduce myself.
