Hello family, just a question for some suggestions on what you ate during your various stages after being sleeved. My biggest concern is that I won't know what to eat past pop-cicles, pudding, jello, liquid protein. Blessings2u--BJ

I am 7 days out. First day was ice chips. Second through 5th were clear liquids. Eg water, crystal light, protein shots, decaf tea, lemonade, broth, sf popsicles. Now on full liquids can have sf instant breakfast, regular protein shakes, yogurt and milk smoothies, thin no chunk soups. Just have to watch the sugar and the carbs. Hope that helps...

Your doctor will give you a list of things and timelines. In general, many of us got various instructions. For me

First two weeks liquids - jello, broth, protein shakes

Third and fourth week - soft mushies - pureed soups, apple sauce, cottage cheese, sugar free/reduced fat pudding (in moderation watch calories), pureed anything, poached eggs, soft scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, yogurt, peas - anything you can mush with a fork

By fifth week regular food usually still soft, use gravies on meats, avoid dry meats

Now the truth of what I did which is not recommend

second week I was nibbling on real meats that were well chewed, toasted bread and the stuff listed in third and fourth weeks. By third week I added peeled fruits, shrimp. By fourth week I was back to normal eating. Again - this was not the prescribed menu and you should follow what the doctor says.

Thank you---this helps. I was told that I'd receive a list from my Dr. but I just wanted to hear what others were doing.It could be my nerves wanting to get all of the information that I can.
