I'm interested in learning what being for a sleever looks like months out from surgery. I am currently less than one month from surgery and would like to see what my eating might look like two months from surgery, three months from surgery, Etc. it would be nice to not only see the volume of food that will be necessary/required, but what types of restrictions there will be in each stage. I do realize that every surgeon has different recommendations, but does anyone know where I might be able to find a generic resource like this?

Newly sleeved, you will only be able to eat couple to a few ounces of food, or just a few bites. You will be eating or drinking something almost every hour of the day just to get your required amount of fluids and Protein in.

As time goes on, the sleeve heals a day relaxes (NOT stretches), and you will be able to eat a little more. I would say at month 3 I could eat up to 3 oz. I had a sleeve of steel, so I could tolerate anything at that point. I ate (still do) on a schedule, so I ate every 2-3 hours. Always protein first, and if there was room a couple bites of veggies. Usually no room at that point.

Now at almost 19 months out, I can eat up to 5 or 6 oz of food (depending on what it is) or up to a cup. Some can eat more, some less. I still stick to the protein first rule, but now have room for more veggies (yay!) and even a couple bites of a starch if I want. I still try to stay away from processed carbs and sugar.

Google this:

You will find a whole bunch of Adobe documents on them.

Are you more interested in the food stages immediately post-op? Or what you will likely be eating once you are through all the food stages and eating "normally"? Most plans have you back on solid foods between 30 and 60 days post-op. So from then on out, it's basically just experimenting with introducing new foods on your own and seeing what you can handle.

I hope you can see this..its a sample diet plan for 4-6 months Post Op.
