I had surgery 6 days ago & I'm wondering when you guys moved on from liquids to puréed foods. Any thoughts?

I was on liquids for two weeks. I am on pure stage now and am not really digging it.

I was on liquids for 2 weeks then moved to pureed stage. I hate the pureed thing. 2 more days and onto soft foods!!

Sounds like its pretty universal then... 2 weeks for liquids, one week purée, one week soft foods? I'm hating this liquid diet! I really want to try baby foods or something.

I had 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks puree then 2 weeks soft.

Mine is 2 weeks of liquids mainly non caloric intake unless I'm shaky or weak. If so then I can have a protein shake. Then 2 weeks of soft.

My instructions were 1 week of liquids, 1 week cream soups, 4 weeks of soft foods.

i had 2 weeks each phase it was hard with liquids cause it gets boring. it will get much better

Thanks you all! The first few days I've been having canned soups. Today I made a huge pot of soup (broth for me, soups for my sickly household). Now that I have something I actually enjoy the taste of, I think I will be much happier. Any soup recipes I can steal?

Hey Bekka!! You are a Caruana patient too right? Yay! I was sleeved 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm on here right now with food progression curiosity as well lol. I am sick of liquids and he didn't seem to follow his own stages very strictly either. In the hospital I was having issues getting water or ice pops down so he personally brought me saltine crackers and mashed potatoes. So I think I've unofficially combined full liquids and puréed already.. Wondering if I could/should start experimenting with soft food soon.

im on clear liquids for 10 days .. full liquids for 20days ...yogurt and jello and pudding like consistency for 2weeks then any mashed food for 2weeks.

Stacey, I am one of his patients!! How cool! My mind is blown - I would love mashed potatoes and saltines right about now! I am torn. I'm dying to experiment with foods... But I'm paranoid that something will happen & I know that it's not worth the risk. But like I said, my mind is blown now! I think I'm going to atleast try baby food for something with more taste than chicken broth. Lol. How are you progressing physically? Any cool weightloss to report?

Well my 10-day pre-op diet plus 2 weeks post-op loss is 24lbs already so I'm pretty pumped about that (: he was super down to earth and cool about getting me a bunch of foods to try while I was still in the hospital. What I didn't realize is we never get to see him again lol. Starting with the 1st post op appt we see the PAs. They also seem pretty lax about the food progression. I am incredibly thankful for his blessing on the mashed potatoes but I think I'm gunna try to be patient on experimenting too much more

I thought I would have a normal progression but on my post op ( 10 days) my surgeon told me I could go to a normal diet. ( chewing well) he said since I had the sleeve vs bypass I wouldn't need to do the soft/mushy stage.

I had it easy. 3 days clear liquid, then 4 days full liquids. At one week they said soft/ purée foods and 2-3 weeks I get to go back to pure protein foods..at 8 weeks I get to introduce veggies and 6 months grains.

My doctor states 2 weeks liquids .. 1 weeks puree 1 weeks soft then regular foods ... My doctor is allowing applesauce to allow me to have my omeprozole ... But im enjoying ice pops broths juice water applesauce and frozen yogurt
