I had to do a pre-op diet of just liquid protein shakes. 3 weeks liquid post-op. 2 weeks mushie and then 2 weeks of transitioning into small, tiny solids. My doc suggest 3 meals a day with 2 protein snacks. I am so excited for the mushy stage. I am craving cottage cheese. Good luck all.

Again thanks for all the responses. I feel fine today, I think I really stressed yesterday. Boy I will never do that again. I guess you can change a fat girls stomach but not her brain. I really need to pay more attention to my body and treat this tool I have been given as just that a tool and not a magic wand.

You guys are so great, thanks. I think I was causing myself pain by stressing out thinking that I am going to cause a leak and then die. I am so dramatic. I am loving this site.

Thank you so much for your response. Yes I am 9 days out. I have lost 15 lbs so far. I did chew very well. It just really scared me after I realized what I had done. The doctors post op diet is 3 weeks liquids, 2 weeks mushies and then on to small portions. Thanks again!

I was sleeved on Feb 28, 2012 and I have been doing so well. Today for some unknown reason I at a piece of lunch meat. It scared me so bad. I called the doctor and they asked if I am having pain, I am not. I had my check up and barium swallow yesterday and everything is fine. I am still totally freaking out and I am embarassed. I am posting this because I hope I am not the only one to have messed up. Also I just need reassured that I will most likely be okay as long as I stay on the diet put forth from my doctor.
