No, you need to follow the plan your team gave you. Don't look to a message board of internet strangers to grant you permission to go against medical orders. If you feel like you are ready to progress to mushy foods, you need to call your surgeon, dietitian, bariatric nurse practitioner -- someone from your team -- and discuss it with them and see if they think you are ready.

I really don't think @@Bufflehead was trying to be nasty with you, she was just being blunt. I know you have been through a lot since surgery, and sometimes we can get a little emotionally tender during this time, but I am sure she didn't mean it that way. And I would echo her advice - it's really not a good idea to try to rush things while you are still healing. I know it is tempting to skip ahead, but your surgical team has these guidelines in place for a reason. Just hang in there for the next two days, it will be here before you know it.

Why does everyone assume that when someone says something they don't want to hear they're being nasty or rude?

Honest question; an honest answer. I don't see that there were any nasty undertones to @@Bufflehead response. It is important to follow your medical teams plan.

I feel "social media bullies" is a bit of a stretch. But yeah, I'd really just follow your doc's plan. It doesn't hurt to ask them though. Letting them know you're feeling up to it does help them gauge healing and what not I'm sure to some degree.

But yeah, for the first few months post op, I feel it's super important to baby our sleeves just so they get the healing time they need. You can probably be a little "riskier" (for lack of a better word) when you're 3, 4, 5, 6+ months out.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
