I think every Dr is different. I was on 1 week clear, not even Protein, right now on 3 weeks of full liquids. I've not really seen too many with the same diet on here unless they've used the same dr.

Well I eat little things already once a day that are cheating. But I mostly have Protein Shakes, gatorade, yogurt, Water, and the things I cheat with are bites of chicken, 2 or 3 noodles, etc... I chew like 50 times. I may be crazy but the drinks and yogurt make my sleeve hurt but the real food I cheat with always goes down perfectly fine. Hmm. I'm 9 days out

This post-op diet varies soooooo much, it seems.

I am 8 days post op.

I never had to fast two weeks prior. I am on 6 oz Ensure daily with unlimited clear liquids for two weeks. Then two weeks soft foods. Then on to solids.

This two weeks is miserable!!!!! I can't imagine if I had to do this two weeks prior to surgery as well. I'd have jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge by now :-p

I was on clear liquid for 1 week then full liquids. I saw my surgeon on monday and he told me to eat soft foods but to start eating to see what I can tolerate. My nutritionist told me 2 week clears, 2 week full liquid then 4 weeks mush. So, I do a little of everything. I typically will do a Protein Shake in the morning, lunch is usually tuna or chicken salad our egg salad with special k crackers another Protein shake, then at dinner I will do a healthy choice which I can only do a few bites of our a white flaky fish. No pastas, no breads though. I do liquid like crystal light throughout the day. Apparently everyone is different.

Two days after surgery the hospital started me on puréed foods. I was told to stay on puréed diet until my first post op appointment mid-May. I couldn't get anything down the first few days but now i eat lentil and / or black bean Soups everyday, yogurt, cream of wheat and Protein Shakes all day. I take in over 100 g of Protein each day but I am concerned that I'm doing too much too soon.

I am 5 days post-op. I'm 1 week clear liquids, I can hardly get my Water or Protein in. I'm not hungry at all but very weak and have had a constant headache. Caffeine withdraws for sure. Monday I start 2 weeks full liquids and I think I will feel better when I can have drinkable yogurt smoothies SF of course, cottage cheese, creamed Soups, egg custard and pudding. My 3rd phase I start soft moist food to see what I can tolerate. I tried to eat a sf Jello tonight and 2 bites I felt sick and thought to myself did I even chew the jello. It's a whole new way of life.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
