6 weeks out and need a bit of advise
I will be six weeks out (RNY) on Monday. I would like to figure out what I should be eating. Unfortunatly, my docotr's office, while being very sweet, are not very informative. I went to a 5 minute meeting with a "nutritionist" (a nurse in the office) about six months ago and that has been it. I have done tons of research on the internet and of course come up with so many different answers. I figure the best advise seems to come from here. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

My surgeon had a very strict diet, I was still on full liquids @ 6 weeks out. I did 3 weeks of clears with protein added, 3 weeks of fulls, 3 weeks of pureed, 3 weeks of soft, and then advanced as tolerated. Now doing a low carb, high protein diet. 3 meals and 3 snacks per day. Getting @ least 65 gm of protein and trying to keep below 50 net carbs/day. Hope that helps

by 6 weeks, we were eating soft food or well cooked tender stuff. No white anything. 6 meals a day of 1/4c protein, 1/4c veggie or fruit. 2-3 protein shakes a day.

Think of soft foods as mentioned above....I ate a lot of chili, egg salad, chicken salad, appetizer meatballs made in the crockpot...at about 6 weeks I was able to eat cheese...greek yogurt, protein pudding. Eat VERY protein focused...and of course protein shakes.
Good luck!
