What phase are you on? Full liquids?

We can't help you without more to go on. What do the instructions from your surgeon say, exactly? Postop instructions vary widely. You could be on either Clear Liquids, full liquids, or even purees at this stage.

You're only 1 week out. Yogurt, soft-cooked scrambled eggs, perhaps a *small portion* of well cooked spinach/ricotta ravioli... I know the routine can be monotonous, but be patient.

It sounds like you need to read your packet.

I read mine multiple times a day for a good month. If you are confused about your program: 1) read the materials provided by your surgeon/NUT and 2) if you are still confused, call and ask.

My packet says 1 week of Clear Liquids, 2nd week is full liquids like Protein shakes but no soft foods or puree until after week 3 so I guess it varies a lot. I'm surprised some people are saying eggs and such it's still so sore for me to swallow even liquids. Then again I did have a large hiatal hernia repair done at the same time too so not sure if that's why my doctor wants to be extra careful.

My postop transitions were a lot more conservative than some of the others posted here....

1-3 days Clear liquid

4-18 days Full liquids

19-29 days pureed food

30-42 days soft food

42+ Days regular food except seeds, skins, nuts and other crunchy stuff which were forbidden until 3 months

I actually transitioned slower than the above plan to allow my sleeve plenty of time to heal and get used to different foods. made for a very easy recovery.

As you can see there are very different plans, so If you don't understand the information given to you, definitely call your nut or surgeon.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
