OK.. for people post opt. The stuff from my Dr's office and stuff I read else where are different. After surgery, what types of foods do you start out with? I am getting baby foods from one place and protien shakes from someone else. Can someone give me a realistic ideas?

Bottom line:  Do what your surgeon says.  They all have different plans-you should trust your healthcare team and follow their guidelines. 

For instance, I've never had a protein supplement.  My doctor does not recommend them-due to bad taste and cost.  He gets you back on food fairly quickly.

Best to you on your journey!

I agree with Kim.   Follow YOUR Dr's plan.   They are all different but simply a different means to the same end.

My surgeon recommended protein shakes and liquids with a minimum of soft/pureeed foods for the first 3 weeks!

Good luck to you and don't let too much info/advise confuse you.   Just stick to the plan your wls team gave you and you will be fine.
