Post-op: How long until you ate real food?

I got the gastric sleeve done and I’ve been on liquids for 5 weeks (two weeks pre-op. 3 weeks post-op) then I’m gonna be on one week of puréed, one week of soft then back to “regular” food.

I’ve seen some people say they’re back to

normal food in like a week I saw one person say 3 days!

Just out of curiosity.

What was your diet like post-op diet like?

My diet was one week clear liquids, one week full liquids, one week purée, then solid foods.

Not unlike my plan.

PRE-OP: At least two weeks of three protein shakes per day to shrink liver PLUS one lighter NORMAL meal.

POST-OP:

1) about ten days clear liquids THEN

2) about 14 days at almost 100% liquids THEN

3) about 12-14 days of pureed foods THEN

4) small meals of solids; liquid foods optional; Two litres of water per day. Meals should include 90 grams to 115grams of protein. Proteins should outnumber carbs 3:1 or 5:2, IF POSSIBLE.
