I was sleeved May 29. My nut gives us three food phases, phase one clear liquids (which I did) phase two full liquids (until July 7), and phase three regular solid foods. My phase two list is sooo short. It states 40 grams of protein via supplement shakes, plus watery oatmeal grits and cream of wheat. I am also allowed low fat strained cream soups, low sodium broth, low fat milk, fruit juice, coffee, tea, light/low carb yogurt, sf Popsicles, NSA applesauce, sf pudding, sf jello.

When I saw my doctor for post op one, he told me I could purée fruit or veggies into my shakes, and even purée ff refried or other beans. I am reading on other threads of folks at my stage (and who have had surgery on the same day) who are mixing stuff like healthy tuna chicken or egg salad and pureeing it to eat. Is this something that is allowed normally? I am just ultra paranoid of leaks or blockages... Thanks for your help

The diet I have for post-op allows purees starting after 2 weeks - anything that has no lumps, like baby food.

I wasn't permitted anything like that on phase II. No fruit, no grains, no nuttin'! I made the mistake of pureeing salmon because others on the site said they were permitted to do it. Yeah...bad idea. You may be craving because you need more Protein. Ask can you add a little lowfat milk to your Protein drinks, it may help.
