Hi! I was just wondering if there were any sleevers that still ended up having a complication after they followed their surgeon's instructions and diets correctly. Im so worried about leaks, as im reading that some have had one even a month out of feeling great! I start soft foods tomorrow and Im sooooo ready for it. But im scared too. What are the chances of following the post op diets exactly, and still end up getting a leak?

Congrats on almost hitting your 2 wks My dr says that the leaks are most likely to happen, if they happen at all, in the first 2 wks. Since you progressing to soft foods (I also did a few days ago) make sure you choose things they really ARE soft.. and chew chew chew chew to the consistency of applesauce. I started off with 1 bite... and waited 5 minutes. .when i felt ok i took another waited a minute or 2 and so on and so forth. You will know if its not going down right, or if your tummy doesnt agree with your choice lol. Some good things i had were ff refried Beans and ff sour cream (you can also add enchilada sauce to the beans, its really tasty and helps loosen them up. I also did deviled eggs, soft scrambled eggs with egg beaters, and ive started doing turkey slices with ff cream cheese. So far, nothing I have tried has given me issues.. except i was so excited about turkey and cream cheese that i swallowed too soon and ... yeah I learned my lesson. lol otherwise, no issues. just chew chew and chew.

When you first transitioned to soft foods, how much were you able to eat in one sitting? Thanks for your info!
