My plan is the same, purée from day 2 but my dietician gave suggestions such as mashed potatoes with low fat cheese mixed in, hummus, flaked fish mixed with potato. I couldn’t stomach the thought of puréed meat so but I can manage a bit tuna with some potato and Mayonnaise. I’ve also made a lentil Soup.< br /> I started out with really thin consistencies, just adding milk to thin out the mashed potato etc, but at nearly two weeks post op I’m gradually building up the thickness.
There seems to be no so much variation in what people are told to eat post op. My dietician is really against Protein Drinks and said to use them as a last resort whilst other diets seem to be based around them.

Thanks everyone. I try desperately not to google things as it can be scary so it’s comforting to know people have gone through this.

I’m in the UK and noticed the rules really vary. Due to covid restrictions I wasn’t really encouraged to get up and walk around - they were really keen for patients to stay in their own rooms.

I didn’t have any pain from the surgical sites, but the trapped gas was something else! I couldn’t lie down and ended up sleeping in a chair upright. I’ve bought one of those triangular cushions since I’ve been home and it’s been a godsend on a nighttime.

I was only on clear fluids for 2 days and was encouraged to drink from the moment I woke up from surgery. I had IV fluids and if anything I was over hydrated - I couldn’t stop peeing!

I’ve not had any issues with pain from the sites at all and I’ve not taken painkillers at all. I’m just really tired still and can’t really face going for long walks yet!

Hi all. I had my sleeve surgery on 4th April.
interested to hear how everyone’s recovery is going?
