I am 9 months post op but at 2 weeks post op I was all liquids. I drank Protein drinks that were recommended to me by my nutritionist, I tried to drink Water, even hot Water (it was very soothing to my stomach. I drank diet cranberry juice, hot chicken broth or beef broth. Week 3 I added yogurt to the mix. Dannon fit and light yogurt. Hope this helps.

I'm at the 1 1/2 week mark post op. Today it's sugar free Swiss miss with Unjury powder blended fine with ice and almond milk. Very good! I've been surviving on Sugar free puddings, jellos, broths, laughing cow cheese triangles, sf Popsicles that sort of thing. I made the family spaghetti and garlic bread tonight. It smelled fantastic but I had a tablespoon of sauce and was satisfied. It was the strangest thing!! ;) I didn't feel cheated because it's my choice, I can sure as hell keep pushing it until I can eat near what I did or not. So it's my decision not to and that makes it easier for me.

From the booklet my surgeon has it says day 15 post op is Stage 2-pureed Diet.

That's everything from stage 1, of course, and add:

  • Pureed chicken or turkey with no skin
  • Pureed fish (water-packed tuna)
  • These soft fish should be mashed very fine with a fork: Haddock, tilapia, cod and salmon
  • Pureed tofu
  • 2 scrambled egg whites or 1/4 cup of egg substitute
  • Pureed fat-free refried Beans
  • Cream Soups made with fat free milk
  • 1% cottage cheese
  • Ricotta cheese
  • no sugar added applesauce
  • mashed banana
  • mashed potato
  • canned vegetables pureed
  • pureed acorn or butternut squash
  • pureed sweet potato
  • cream of wheat
  • oatmeal

Eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pureed Proteins four to five times a day and 1/4 cup of the fruit, vegetables, and starches two times a day

      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? 🤷‍♀️
