When were you told you could start purees? Just curious if everyone is made to wait 2 weeks.

My plan was 2 week All liquids, 2 week purees, then 2 weeks soft foods.

I never actually had a puree stage. I had 2 weeks of liquids then 2 weeks of soft food then regular food

I was puréed for lunch day after surgery for two weeks(I'm only 12 days out, follow-up tomorrow), then two weeks soft foods, then "regular" foods...of course, only get bumped to next stage if tolerating current stage.

I could have puréed at week 5.

Seems like a wide range of doctor's orders on food stages!

Two weeks of liquids then 2 weeks of pureed.

So many variations of this!!

I was 3 days of clear liquids, 2 weeks of all liquids, 2 weeks of soft/puréed foods, all food after day 31

I had one day of clear liquids, followed by four weeks of full liquids, then four weeks of purees, then four months of soft food.

I had 1 week of full fluids then 3 weeks of purée, then soft food 2 weeks.

Same as you....purée at week 2. 1 more week to go!

Hungry

Are any of you hungry on the liquid phase because I was sleeved 12/17 & still on full liquid but I feel hungry every 3 or 4 hours?

Mine is 6 weeks, then puréed, but I feel no hunger or urge to drink so it super hard for me to get in all my liquids

jerica-I'm hungry right after I have my protein. It doesn't even seem like an hour. I think I need to drink more continuously and we should be having protein every hour or 2.

I was told by my dietician to spread my protein shake through out the whole day, as liquids can go straight through our stomachs you probably miss the satisfaction of being full, but I Gather from other topics here the restriction feeling sometimes isn't felt in the liquid stage. Also you may have some head hunger. Persevere with your sips x

Clear Liquids for 2 days post surgery, full liquids for 5 days, pureed foods for 2 weeks, soft/bland foods for 3 weeks, then normal.
