I am 14 days out from open surgery. I had to bypass due to complications I only weigh 99lbs so far am keen to start eating as soon as possible. I don't seem to have problems eating. Can anyone advice when it would be good to eat solids.

You can't be for real............................you weigh 99 pounds?

58 kilograms equates to 128 pounds. But it seems to beg the question why did you get a gastric sleeve? You don't appear to be overweight. Your surgeon or nutritionist should have given you guidelines that describe when you can transition to solid foods.

I had RNY surgery. My guidelines were full liquids until 4 weeks following surgery, then pureed foods to week 8 and then at 9 weeks post op transition to solids.

But you indicated you had sleeve and the requirements may be different than mine. Also some surgeons have slightly different programs.

After surgery, the three most important items are meeting your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting stored fat into the energy that drives your body, thus you lose weight.
