I'm with you on the different surgeons post op. mine was a week Clear Liquids, 3 weeks Protein with milk based or add Fairlife milk to protein powder. Then I start soft/pureed for about 3 weeks. I've nibbled here and there on things. I'm so ready for substance. I also have trouble getting in fluids and since I'm constipated and nothing works, they want me to go from 64oz to 80. OMG

Hey Y'all I just heard about this page and I was sleeved on 4/20 (lol!)
I'm feeling awesome, good at getting my Protein in but I've never been a big water/fluid drinker ever so I'm having a little trouble getting all that in.
I've been go go go since Monday, I took the week off of work so I've been spending time with my hubby, doing some shopping, hitting up Lowes/HD for home improvement project stuff and just generally keeping active and busy.
My biggest gripe is the difference of post-op programs that vary from surgeon to surgeon and I was told that it may not be the surgeon but the insurance company that sets it up.
I'm supposed to be 3 weeks on liquids post-op, others are puree 5 days post op. I even saw a TV special about a journalist on Univision that was sleeved and her surgeon said it varies from person to person what the comfort level of food is post op and do what's right for you if you get the sleeve. I had some pudding yesterday and had no issues whatsoever.
But that's my intro, glad to be here!
