Hello, I just had the sleeve on 3-20-2015, and I am having craving for anything to eat. I am keeping up on my liquid diet. But the temptation for even a cracker is so nerve racking is crazy. Is it too early to start the protein shake????

@@rfaulknerdugan - drink water until you feel like you could float away! It's challneging but it's just a few days. Stick with it!

I'm fascinated by all of our different processes after surgery -- some have Clear liquids for 2 weeks, others 2 days. Just a comment, no issues with it and not judging whether one is right or wrong -- just interesting to me!!

When do you start your purée diet plan? (Mine starts at the 8th day)

On April 3rd, I can start a soft diet. I hope I can start my protein shakes today, I go see my Surgeon today.

What type of nutrition plan do you have? Are you still on a clear liquid diet?

I had to finish the clear liquid diet before I left the hospital, but now I am going through the liquid part of the stage, I can drink broth, and 100% juices with half of water. And I take the bus and Calcium and multi vitamin. How about you?

I'm only 6 days in and I start Purée Diet in 2 days! (Sat) can't wait! I've had no complications and I'm getting all my liquids.

Keep doing a great job. I have to put it all in God's hands. But I am glad to meet people like you and the other ones on this app. God bless you and keep doing a great job.

I know the feeling. It was so freaking hard. I was so tired of clear liquids and the sugar substitute. I wasa getting this gross foamy sweet crap in my throat all the time. I got to a point I didnt want anything anymore. I was upset and angry about not being able to get full. This was just my experiance. I am sure it is different for many others but now being over 2 weeks out i am finally feeling better. I feel your pain and soon it will be over with. i promise. Just follow the program and focus on hydration.
