How did your surgeon progress you? I was discharged on full liquids, 18 days later at my "2 week" check up, I was allowed to eat soft foods, skipping purees (yay!). Next week, I go back for my 1 month follow up and I'm anticipating being progressed to the next stage. What is that, normally? Obviously, it varies wildly between programs, but what's next? After soft foods, what is there left to restrict when you're on regular food? Or is it everything as tolerated? I'm just very nosy and like to be prepared.

I was put on clear liquids for 4 days post op, full liquids day 5-13. Then week 3 and 4 I can have purée, and weeks 5 and 6 soft foods before finally solid foods at week 7 ha.

I guess regular foods are the next step for me, but it sounds SO weird to be eating regular foods at just over a month out.

I was sleeved march 19th and still cannot eat all normal foods yet. I get in my protein mostly with shakes not meat. I can eat steamed vegetables, crackers, rice cake, and some flat breads but no real bread or salad yet. But everyones different I hear. Just wondering when some got back to eating normal foods too.

I could KILL for a salad right now, too!

I can tolerate more than i thought I could at 3 weeks. My Dr has progressed me quite quick. Not sure why some Dr's do it different than others. Comes down to what works for you I guess .??

You will probably go to regular foods, but there will be some restrictions, Bread, rice, and pasta will swell in your stomach so you won't be able to have those for awhile. You will probably not be able to have salad yet. Although I never had issues with it, alot of people do. Good luck!

I can tolerate a pretty decent amount right now. I've had nothing disagree with me so far. I can't wait to see what they say on Friday!

What have you been eating?

What have you been eating?

Tuna, eggs, well cooked produce, berries, just had some fresh papaya, ground meats, etc. I had a really moist turkey burger (no bun) earlier today at a BBQ and it went down just fine.
