Diet Progression Differences

[kondasa 28]

I can't get over how diet progression plans differ so widely from doctor to doctor. My doctor seems to be a lot more liberal than many of yours.

My plan:
1.5 days home- Clear liquid
day 2-7 at home- full liquids (including plain yogurt as a liquid)
day 7-21 at home- soft foods adding meats at day 14
day 21- full foods

I feel great and have felt ready for each phase change. I changed to soft foods yesterday and I am taking them quiet well and haven't had any problems thus far. I have also lost 15 lbs since my surgery date on 3/15. So I am not worried that something is wrong. I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar liberal plan because it seems like many of you are on a much stricter post op diet?

* I also didn't have a liquid pre-op diet.

The guidelines for gastric sleeve very often are the same as for gastric bypass, which has a longer healing time. That may account for some of the differences.

That said, a new sleeve will often dictate matters. You're fortunate that your sleeve is handling things so well. Mine is being pokey and I had to go back to Clear Liquids. I'm just today trying some unflavored Protein powder in them, I tried plain nonfat milk yesterday and it was a no-go. I can't wait for my sleeve to wake up and play along!

mine was very similar and I have not had any difficulty (thankfully) adding new foods.
