    I have my two week check up on Monday. I haven't done everything perfectly but I feel great. What do they do at this visit? Do they do another leak test? That would be amazing. I started mushies and soft foods before I should have, and while I don't think there's a problem, it would be great to have it confirmed. What went on at your two week visit?

    I got sleeved the same day as you. I tried to eat a spoonful of chicken salad after day 5 because liquids were hurting my stomach and i couldn't stomach them. So I figured if I could just get a spoonful of chicken salad down then that would maybe make up for all the nutrients I wasn't getting. Its day 8 out now and I feel great. My stomach hurts a tiny bit after the first thing I swallow, but after that initial one, I'm fine. I've dabbled in softfoods already, with no problem. I'm doing liquids as my main sustenance because I don't want to overdue it or cause a leak, but I really think I could go to the next stage full on right now. Long story short - it gets better. I guess I was just one of the lucky ones that don't get much pain.

    I was sleeved exactly one week ago 11/12 and per my past posts last week, it was a difficult four days or so. Then it miraculously started getting better. I was on Clear Liquids for the first week - and now today I was to move onto "full liquids" smooth yogurts; puddings; cream Soups. So I get up this am with a swing in my step cuz I can have fat free cream of cheese soup! I take four spoonfuls and glee washes over my face. And that's where it stopped.........pain and discomfort when it hits the tummy. I now know where food enters the stomach - and I never even went to med school. So I wait and try again and bam it happens again.

    So, what's up with this? Any suggestions, hints etc...am I eating wrong? It has taken me 2 hours to eat this mug of Soup. There is NO WAY I can start timing my Water between my "meals" like they want me to. If I were to do this, I would never drink Water today.

    Thanks. I will go back to my liquids. I just thought that maybe I'm a fast healer... Since I hear people talking about not being able to stomach liquids... And I can already stomach heavier. I chewed each bite a ridiculous amount and took incredibly small bites so I don't think I have done any damage so far. People say "listen to your sleeve", and I honestly expected to feel sick or to immediately throw up if my sleeve was rejecting something...I thought my sleeve would reject it. I'm in no pain at all anymore and I feel like I could even go back to the gym right now. Reading that some people started pureed food while IN the hospital just lead me to think that maybe it would be okay. I wish I had an X-ray at home so I could see what exactly is going on in there!
