Thank you! I think I'm going to take it slow and easy, I don't want to cause myself any pain or create problems with my pouch.
That is MUCH faster than what I had to do with my sleeve. I did 2 weeks clear liquids, 2 weeks full liquids, and 1 week soft. I had no trouble at all by following this.

Hello all! I've not posted on this forum but had a question I thought you all may be able to give me some input on.
My surgery is scheduled for this week on Thursday and I'm going over the paperwork yet again. The Post-op diet that my surgeons office gave me seems to be rushing things from what I've noticed the veterans on the RNY forum talking about.
Just wondering how safe trying to follow this plan is going to be. 
Any advice would be great, I've tried contacting the dietitian with my concerns several times but haven't received any response.
Day 1-2 clear liquids
Day 3-7 full liquids
Week 2-5 Pureed or soft foods
Week 6 start transition to solid food diet
Month 4 start maintenance diet

Going on my third month of unemployment. Starting to think I'm never going to find a job at this point :( And I'm getting more depressed about it all the time. I'm trying to keep busy but that's hard. UGH.
But yay to continuing to lose weight!

Aww damn, sorry about that.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

I was only a couple months out of surgery last Thanksgiving. Just a bit of turkey and literally one bite of everything else more than did it for me. My capacity hasn't increased much (thank goodness) so I'm anticipating the same - a couple of bites of everything with some of the moister turkey and I'll get the hiccups which is my signal to stop. The day is about being thankful and I am VERY thankful for this surgery. I'll be focusing more on that.
