Hi everyone ! I had my surgery tuesday the 10th and went with the sleeve! Discharged on Friday ( thank god) moving forward this whole liquid diet is driving me crazy!!!!! I was under the impression that the liquid diet was just for the first day with the cup then you can do the Protein shake! Or am I wrong? Also the Protein shake I know it's to early to be adding anything in but if anyone has any suggestions on what else I could be using to get through these next two weeks id love it !

Thanks

sorry your NUT won't be around for a bit

she will be a great help

write down your questions

its easy to forget certain things you want to talk/ask about

read the boards

go to the search button in the top right hand corner

you'll see that many other people have asked similar questions that you might have too

ask your questions here too

we're here to give support

give our experiences too

all comments you have been given are great/helpful

but at the end of the day

listen to YOUR doc or nut

its said frequently on the board

that the one thing we all have in common, is that we're all different"

all docs and NUTS (nutritionalist ) have different rules

my doc had me on Clear liquids for 10 days

i "think" its safe to say that most of us are on clear liquids for more than a day

having the sleeve or bypass or lapband - i think the early stages are similar

please don't regret having the sleeve because you are on liquids longer than you thought

personally speaking

the sleeve has been my best friend for the past 3 years

as long as i continue to follow all the rules i will do great

you work with the sleeve/and it will work with/for you

good luck

By now you should be able to add yogurt & pudding. It will be fine. Even though everyone's plans are different, I say just add those if you're still confused

I had my sleeve yesterday. Aside from gas pain, I am doing pretty good. My diet is like this:

2 days clear liquid-water, diluted apple or cran juice, jell-o, broth. Tomorrow starts 7 days protein liquids, this includes protein drink, milk, cream soups, yogurt, pudding, nothing can have chunks. Then 7 days puree, then 14 days mushies.

I'm the exception to the rule. Other than the day before surgery I never had a clear liquid phase.

Hopefully you choose your team because you trusted them. Call them and get clarification.
