My dr said full liquids for 6 wks postop to make sure my pouch is fully healed. It is very hard, if you count the 2 wk preop liquid diet that is 2 months on liquids. I am down 34 pounds since my surgery april 29th

Wow. That is intense and you are sure to lose a lot of weight. So after 6 weeks you go straight to regular foods or soft foods?

I go to the puree stage for 1 - 2 wks and then to soft foods. I have 2 more wks on liquids, so ready for some solids and something to chew

Hmmmm, well your new sleeve should be healed well by then but I was told it wont be fully healed until 6 months out.

You could add some things to your shake to break up the monotony flavors and change textures a bit.

In vanilla shakes add

banana (this gives a more slimy texture unless you use frozen bananas)

Peach with skin peeled

flavored kefir/yogurt

frozen Jello (sounds gross but adds lots of flavor and smooth texture)

Same here Queen, I was sleeved April 2nd and I'm only down 35 pounds and I eat the same amount of calories as you...My Dr says it's because my BMI was on the lower side, but I still want to lose faster!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
