Hey Y’all,

I’m 11 days post op and in the full liquids phase and started slowly incorporating purée/soft foods which I’m doing well with. I had Refried beans last night which I thinned with broth and melted a tiny bit of cheddar cheese into them. Yum! I’ve been adding unflavored protein powder to creamy soups—not the best taste, but So far, so good!
For a few days, I’ve been stalking “the world according to eggface” blog and I am craving one those smoothies!
Is that something I can try this Week or do smoothies need to be in full food stage because they do have berries and veggies and such.

Only 11 days i would wait another week, but try and sip just a little and see how you do,

My wife made me a strawberry banana smoothie my second week. Didnt cause any problems. I took smoothies as being full liquids.

This is interesting. I'm sleeve too, but I'm not allowed to have any fruit until after 6 weeks out. But I was allowed to have chicken in week two. It's odd how different the phases are.

My surgeon says no fruit first 3 months after surgery. Part of the problem is the carbs. Raw fruit is also difficult to digest. A banana by itself is 27g carbs. I am only allowed 50g total carbs per day.
