Yes, Everyone has different instructions. My instructions were over three years ago. I'm sure they are out of date. Best advice is follow your instructions given by your team.

Hi. My dietary guidelines were 2 days Clear Liquids after surgery followed by 2 weeks of full liquids then 2 weeks of puréed food. The following month is soft foods and the next month is solids. Is your plan similar?

I (and others, I'm sure) was offered clear liquids on the day of surgery and the day after.

I was ordered to be on a liquid diet for the first week. I am in my second week now. I am allowed to have "full" liquids this week. The third week I can move on to pureed foods. She said to do that for the full week and then, when I feel comfortable, start trying soft foods. The one thing I have been a bit confused on is portion sizes and calorie intake. I know we are supposed to eat until we are "satiated" and not full. Which is what I do. But I'm afraid my portion sizes are not big enough. I've been keeping active, so want to make sure I'm taking in the right amount. Good luck to you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
