Protein Shakes are the big one I didn't see mentioned. Sounds like you're on full liquids? You could have sf popsicles to get a little bit of different texture. Protein soups/broths were a godsend my first 2 weeks when I would get tired of the shakes and protein Water.< br />
Hang in there! I know the liquid phase isn't fun, but the results you'll see and eventually the way your body will feel will make it all worth it!

Does your surgeon provide a nutritionist? Do they have a plan that they want you to follow?

It sounds to me like you're on the right track, but every program is different.

You might try looking at Dr. Weiner's videos on You Tube. They are a bit different from my doctor's program, but I like what he has to say and might be changing my routine a bit.

Never be shy to ask for opinions on here. Sometimes I feel like these people know more than my doctor!

Milk is a full liquid. Just make sure everything is super watery for the next little bit. Everything should be able to be easily sucked through a straw for the first 14 days. (No straws.. just tells you how watery it should be).

Premier Protein ready-made shakes (Costco) have been a very helpful tool for me. chicken broth and Bone Broth were very helpful for me when trying to get a break from the consistent "sweetness" of most Protein supplements. Also Greek yogurt, but stay away from formulations that contain more grams of sugar than protein.

I had surgery 2 days after you! I just started my full liquid diet today. I had my surgery in Mexico, so don't have a nutritionist. Here are the some of the things I was approved to eat this week (please note that everyone's diet is different). I was warned that Tomato based products may be too acidic but that I could try them and see how I tolerate them.

single grain baby Cereal thinned with milk or Protein Shake

thinned cream of wheat

boiled chicken (can be seasoned) pureed with enough broth to go through through a funnel

level 1 or 2 baby food (stick with fruits cuz I hear the other stuff is gross)

I am actually allowed to have cottage cheese and don't have to blend it

Yoplait whipped yogurt

low sodium V-8

      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? 🤷‍♀️
