I am 6 days out and have experimented with some soft foods. My Dr wanted me 2 weeks liquid. Items I've tried: avocado, won ton soup, smooshed banana. All advise or input welcome. I get full quickly and immediately get gas and/or have burping other than that I feel fine. Comments?

I agree,just because you advanced to the next stage4 days early is no reason for such hostility. I told my surgeon I had eaten something "earlier" than I was supposed to. His response was did it go down ok? No repercussions?.everyone heals at diffetent rates.the reason for the stages is because your stomach has to learn how to process food again and push it thru to the intestines,which is why raw fruits and especially raw vegetables are allowed last,this is from my surgeons mouth. So I think this thread has run its course people lets move on

Ive read where lots are eating Greek yogurt. What is the difference from that & low fat Yoplait?

I did Greek yogurt, egg drop soup, protein shakes, tomato soup, sugar free fat free pudding , sugar free popcicles.

Are you scared that you might damage your sleeve?

It is REALLY getting frustrating how judgmental people have been on this forum lately. So much so that posts such as izuri's make me refrain from posting' date=' our visiting nearly as often. A simple "you should be careful to follow your doctors recommended diet" with your recomemded tips would suffice.

Seriously, get off your high horses people...[/quote']

I totally agree. The response was very harsh, just flat out mean!

Usually the brutally honest (yet still helpful) responses cause a controversy and the focus gets shifted from the main topic to the fact that someone chimed in on an individual's opinion that was asked for.

People should know that when they post on here they will not always get a sugar coated response and not everyone is going to feel or think the same things.

Maybe we could try to focus on helping the original poster than fighting and complaining about how terrible one person is for voicing their opinion?

Those people are dead and therefore, cannot post.

Are you saing we should just ignore our doctor's plan because other people tried it and didn't die?

ok people, arent we adults here. Please stop arguing and acting so petty with the comments. Each person is an individual and will do or not do what they are told. Ultimately they are the ones paying the consequences for their actions. I'm 4 days post op and have loved this sight until reading this thread. I think I'll stick with the love and support of my own family and friends. Let's just all relax and do the best we can!!

Thank u for everyone's support. I did call my doc and they confirmed it was ok and gave me a new "definition" of what to eat. "if it can slide off a spoon". Ok? That clears up everything, not. Lol

Haha I can get a truffle to slide off a spoon . Anyway I get it now and I got it then. If I eat some avocado that after chewing is the same consistency as my protein shake then it's obviously ok. I never thought this subject would cause such controversy. It does speak to how valuable this site is and how we all need support above all. Not about wrong or right. Peace to u all<3

I have tried some soft foods myself and tolerated them well :-)

Ok after reading some of these responses I am just appalled.
