I started my first meal in the hospital and then I ate cottage cheese when
I got home always remember if it doesn't have protein eat it last..I bought
the self serve Breakstone C.C. and I ate about 2-3 teaspoons per meal then
you get so you eat a little more. Don't over eat tho. I will be a yr. out
next month and have lost 103 lbs. and don't want to lose any more. I ahev
gone from 242 to 139 Any question feel free to contact me... Have a good
one. Cindy

You really need to go with what your doctor wants you to eat or drink. I
was on straight liquids when I was one week out. I did not go to blended
foods until I was at 2 weeks out and yes it does get old but it will change
soon. You need to let your baby pouch heal and that is why you are on full
liquids.

I have not had my surgery yet. But 3 years ago when my mom had RNY. She was
on liquids for 5wks. She was drinking chicken/beef broth like a mad woman.
Yeah she did get really sick of it but it does just depend on what your
doctor says and how your body feels.. My mom's doctor said 2wks liquids,
but when it came to soft foods her body wasnt ready. Hope everything works
out :)

Each Doctor has their own protocal and they are all differant. You went to
the doctor of your choice because you trucsted him (I hope). He/She has
her reasons for the protocal that is demanded. I suggest you do what your
doctor advises and not what a bunch of lay-men are telling you. If you are
to drink only liquids for 3 weeks, then do it. Stay on the path that your
doctor put you on.

Beth, I am almost 9 weeks out and cottage cheese is still one of my staple
foods...those individual packs ( come 4 packed together ) are a great meal
for me...when I can , I also add a small applesauce and it helps fill me up
more.....I eat almost all the cc first for protein and then applesauce...
And don't forget it is only for a few weeks for the rest of our lives...we
can do it and I wish you great luck....

Diets very, so ask your doctor, but usually you are on clear liquds for a
while, and then go to regular liquids, which include yogurt.

Beth,
Check with your doctor as to what constitutes a liquid diet. On clear
liquids, it is usually things like broth, water, and jello, but on regular
liquids, you can usually have pudding, cream soups, and yogurt. so make
sure you have a list from the nurse or nutritionsit, or go online and do a
search for it.
