Mine was a month, but it was combined with the liquids and soft Proteins so we could move around as needed since individual tolerances can vary so much. I don't think that I actually pureed anything (the pureed lettuce in the hospital is a bit off-putting!) but did some straining and mashing of chunks in the chunkier Soups initially until i found that it wasn't necessary.

Mine was 4 weeks. This followed 4 weeks of full fluids immediately after surgery. It was 2 months before I was allowed to move to regular foods.

10 days, followed by about a month of soft foods.

Yup, he's a little on the conservative side. Toward the end of the 4 week full fluids I was starting to go a little squirrely, but I remember being cleared for soft foods and thinking my first scrambled egg tasted like heaven! It's all behind me so I can laugh about it now, but there were some tough days in there!

My purée stage is for 2 weeks and it ends in 3 days!! With each stage I'm getting more excited. But I must admit that I do wish I could eat more, portion wise that is!

No purée specific stage on my plan. I had to do 1-2 days Clear liquids (in hospital), full liquids for two weeks which included yogurt and pudding, then 3 months of soft foods, followed by a return to "normal" with no restrictions (other than Protein goals and carb/fat limits).

For the soft food phase, it was recommended to move slowly. I never actually puréed anything; I just chose naturally soft foods like refried Beans, tuna with ff mayo, soft scrambled eggs, etc.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
