No, full liquids. But I keep hearing about other people who get to move on to the puréed stage much quicker. I am soooo tired of Protein Shakes and plain yogurt. I just want something hot that isn't broth lol.

I like my Protein shake, but I am ready for something with a different taste and more filling. I go for my checkup tomorrow and I am going to ask if I can start early......lol the only thing I can do for now is wait it out.....

I have 21 days of clear liquids and move to mushies on day 22. My dr is conservative so therefore...so am I. I have had an amazingly successful process so far, so intend to do exactly what he says, when he says. Tonight is my first preop support group meeting and it, among a ton of other activities, keep me busy so that i do not find myself thinking about what i dont yet get to have. This is just me doing what i think is right and i know not everyone feels driven to follow their doctor's orders, so to each their own. I just figure that i had a very dangerous relationship with food before, so why rush it now. I want it to be the fuel i dump in my engine to make it run in top condition, not the stuff i focus on every waking moment anxiously awaiting my next bite. No thank you mame!

Can't even imagine what your feeling but look at things this way; Would you rather something your not supposed to have and have a bad reaction? or just wait and hold on a little longer and you can have it all again in moderation...time, it heals everything :wub:

Yes I'm still on my full liquid phase...and I can have runny sugar free pudding, watered down low fat cream soups...although I haven't really been eating those because they fill me up and don't have much Protein...I can also have yogurt which is really delicious. I get the low fat yogurt and mix in my nectar vanilla torte Protein powder...I eat about a half cup throughout the day...it is really yummy.

I'm pretty sure you can have all that stuff too!

I am on full liquids till Monday (will be 2-weeks worth). My savior has been the strained cream Soups. I add the powered milk to the milk I add to the Soup to increase the Protein. I can only get about a 1/2 cup in but it satisfies the savory need since all my Protein Shakes taste so sweet!

I was sleeve 1/28 also and my doc wont let me go to puree/soft foods until next Monday which means waiting 2 full weeks. I am mentally remaining strong because I have to remember in my case poor eating habit when I got in my 30's and being an emotional eater is why I had to have surgery so Im fighting to stay strong and I keep busy. So you are not alone on waiting 2-3 weeks before moving off liquids. Good luck and dont give up.

I'm in the UK, on day 15 of the liquid diet and was advised to do four weeks. I'm so bored of the diet but my surgeon advised me I can have Soup as long as I Water it down, it needed to flow from a cup like water. This has helped as I've been able to try different Soups but some days I barely eat as everything makes me nauseas. I'm still experiencinf pain down my right side from the internal stitches but on the plus side I've lost 24 pounds since the pre op diet :-)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
