@@Ruby81 Try posting in the post op forum - you may get more replies. Also - if you're in the UK - things seem to be very different with post-op diets. Many of us here in the States aren't "allowed" fruit. Our diets focus a lot on Protein and I believe that's not the case there. There's also a UK forum. Congrats on your surgery!

Were you provided with a written lost-op food plan?

I have a whole folder of various things. I went to required numerous classes also. I have a page of example mesls for the stage of diet that I am on. Such as full liquid...mushy...then somewhat regular diet with restrictions. I cant have grains, Pasta, bread until i have lost 75% of my projected weight loss. Not many gray areas with my doctor. I like how it is layed out and leaves me few questions. They are very helpful to their patients.

I can have pureed chilli or bean or pea Soup for the sodium. I do thid for 3 weeks. Then on to mushy getting in my required Protein daily for 3 weeks. I have charts marking off all those things that need returned to the doctor for the 6 weeks.

Did you talk with your nutritionist (abbreviated as NUT on this site) or dietician? On my program I was on Clear liquids for 2.5 weeks after my surgery. No fruit juices and had to even dilute sugar free non-carbonated beverages. My surgical team said it was to allow my stomach to heal. But different surgeons have different instructions so check with your team.

Hi Ruby, I am in the UK and had my surgery recently on the NHS. I posted some scans of my food stages on a previous thread which you can see here http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/372970-sleeve-soon/page-2

However it's important to remember that you need to follow the plan that you would have been given as you might have different requirements to anyone else. Did your bariatric team give you a booklet like this?

I choose not to drink my calories unless it's a Protein drink. fruit is ok later on, but whole fruit, not juice, so you get the benefits of the Fiber, too.

Strawberries were out for me for 6 months. Those little seeds can work their way into your staple line and cause issues.

Talk to your doctor, I'm only telling you of MY experience.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
