My doc's plan allowed for that, but many do not. If you don't have a guide book put out by your program, then call your doc's office and check on what their plan allows when.

My surgeons gave office gave me a huge binder filled with so much information. Every single question I could think of was answered within this manual. I was still on full liquids first week out. I just started pureed foods Monday and I am 3 weeks post op ... I would call your surgeons office and ask.

On MY plan I can but only max 1-2oz

Those are considered purées. When are you allowed to have those? For me that was from weeks 2-4.

It amazes me how many people had surgery and are not getting any onfo to go by afterwords WTF I think there is no excuse to treat you this way are they in it for the money and just throw you to the curb ..Thank God for bariatric pal and the support you can find here..

To be fair, I saw and heard people *in my program* who have had all the same education I had, and were still asking questions that made me wonder if they had not really been in the room with me the whole time. So, I don't think it's all just people not getting education they should -- some folks seem to just not have it sink in.

Agreed! It's quite unbelievable.

The seminar I went to was crazy. It was very informative and some people asked really good questions but some people man, I was wondering if there were even in the same room listening to the Dr. Lol.

I was in the pre-admit seminar at my hospital, and of the other two people, one didn't actually understand the surgery or what was going to be done to her. Both of the others were still having carbonated sodas -- one Diet Coke, one regular Coke -- and seemed surprised they were not going to be able to continue drinking them after surgery. Like, "WAIT, WHAT? But how will I manage that????" level of surprised.

I was given the guidelines of full liquids, pureed, ect, but my surgeon also encouraged adding foods faster than the schedule saying that would help heal quicker. I'm 2 weeks post op, still doing lots of Protein shakes, canned tuna, yogurt. Any solid or semi solid foods, I make sure to take small bites and chew very well.

My surgeon said the opposite! Take it easy on your stomach and let it heal... no point in stressing it and making it work harder.

I had one week of clear fluids, one week of full fluids (no dairy, no carbonation, no caffeine), then two weeks of purees (including scrambled eggs, applesauce, yogurt). Today I'm moving to soft foods like tuna, which will be for a week, then meat as tolerated.

For scrambled eggs - do you actually purée them after you cook them or are they soft enough as-is to eat during the purée stage?

Nope they are soft enough

I also had my surgery 8/27!!! I am now eating creamed soups and clear liquids and protein shakes but I'm still having trouble getting in a total of 64oz of liquids. I'm doing between 40-50gms of protein right now and trying to get to 60!!!
