Just wonderning because I know that doctors have their different paths for their WLS patients.

The plan my surgeon uses has me switching gradually to soft foods starting at 3 weeks. He emphasizes the gradual part... very important to go slow and respect how the change in texture makes me feel.

Thank you bunches fellow Banana Baby

I was allowed mushies at 2 weeks. and same as above on the going really slowly.

After reading several posts, it seems my doctor utilizes an extra slow process. I had my sleeve Nov. 21 and had to do two weeks of clear liquids. I'm on my first week of pureed and have to do it next week, too. I can start soft foods on week four and that phase lasts a whole two months!

same here minaleigh

Mine was 5 days all clears, up to 10 days clears but with Protein shakes made with Water only was ok.

Day 11-20 was full liquids

Day 20-30 was Mushies / Purees

30+ Was allowing back in regular foods though I did take my time. I would start with one regular meal but the rest would be mushies or Protein Shakes. Dr. Aceves made me a very small stomach. LOL

GL!!

My doc's program is mush/puree/soft proteins from the outset as tolerated, along with the usual soups, protein drinks and water, water, water. That worked fine for me, and I wasn't going to argue with his twenty or so years of sleeve experience. My wife was a little slower to progress on the same basic plan a few years ago. but that's just individual variations.

I thank you all and truly appreciate your input....It has truely been helpful
