For the first five days were you on clear liquids only?

I was on liquids for three weeks, clear then full.

After that came purée like real purée not just "I chewed it until it was mushy", but in the food processor purée.

I lived :D

I never had a clear phase but I did have 2 weeks of a liquid diet. Then soft/mushy for the next 10 weeks.

Mine is as follows:

Day 1 & 2: Clear Liquids

Weeks 1&2: clear liquids and on day 3 start on Protein shakes 2oz 3x per day.

(I am a lot more active early on than most...back at work at 5 days, at the gym at 7 so I added Protein powder to my water)

Week 3: add in cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs and canned/soft vegetables (everything should be cut up to the size of a pencil eraser) 2oz 4x per day

Week 4: add fish, poached, baked, canned (plus anything allowed before hand)

Week 5: add lean chicken and turkey

Week 6: add lean beef

Try to get a 1/2- a gallon of Water per day

I'm 10 days out and feel great!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
