Hi everyone,
Just wondering what your diet was directly after leaving the hospital?

Hi, I recently got the gastric sleeve this past Monday. The night in the hospital I was allowed ice chips. The following day I had beef broth and sugar free jello and sugar free crystal light.

Once I was home it was clear broths and sugar free Gatorade for the first three days. I am now able to have Greek yogurt’s and protein shake and cream soup.

I was discharged on Thursday morning; RNY was Tuesday morning.

Thursday (post op day 2): 1 fl oz clear liquid every 15 minutes

Friday-Sunday (post op days 3, 4, 5): (3) portions of 2oz full liquids per day + 64 oz water daily

My full liquids have been:

Fairlife Chocolate Protein Shake + Isopure powder

SF Vanilla Pudding made with Fairlife Vanilla Protein Shake + Isopure powder

Oikos Pro Greek Yogurt thinned with Fairlife Vanilla Protein Shake + Isopure powder

Since the 2 oz portions are so small and I'm only eating 3x daily, I haven't even made a dent in these.

Hope this helps!

Hi everyone,

I was not allowed anything to eat or drink on my surgery day. They had some lemon swabs I could use to moisten my mouth, but that was it. The 2 days after surgery were clear liquids only. Starting day 3 until day 23 I could have "full liquids" like protein shakes.

24 hours after surgery I wasn't allowed anything until I had my barium xray to make sure I didn't have a leak. Then I was given clear liquids to include jello day 2 in the hospital drinking every 15 minutes 1oz, full liquids started towards the end of day two maybe dinner? Then day 3 in hospital was full liquids and drinking every 15 minutes 1oz. At home was 1 week on full liquids, 3 weeks on pureed,3 weeks on soft, and currently introducing solid at a very slow pace. Honestly I'm terrified I'll start to gain if I introduce too many new things. What I'm eating now works. Tuesday is 10 weeks post op.

Ours was much the same as in the hospital, after getting through the leak test. Generally soft and sloppy but fairly varied - soups, strained of any chunks at first, yogurt, eggs, oatmeal, cream of wheat, chicken or tuna salad, flaky fish, protein drinks, of course, as that is a major protein source for a while. We could go back and forth between liquids and soft stuff as we could tolerate, some could progress a bit quicker than others and that was expected, Then most anything else added in after a month.

Sleeve.

2 weeks of liquids only. Then 2 weeks of soft foods.

Please check in with your nutritionist to see what you will be able to eat and how you need to progress back to solids.

Clear liquid diet day 1-3, then day 4-14 a full liquid diet. Day 14-35 a pureed diet. After Day 35 and on, solid foods with 80 to 100g protein (I consume about 65g though), 7-13 servings vegetables/fruits.
