Eating Too Fast

What would it happen if I start eating solid's just like grilled fish (3 oz) or roasted chicken (3 oz) just 10 days after the cirgury???

You could damage ur stapleline and develop a leak and end up in the hospital on ton for a few weeks. It's better to follow ur soca and nut directions. Be patient it will pass.

My surgeon has a patient who ate an apple when she was only a week post-op. She busted her staple line and they had to totally re-do her surgery. I know it's hard to only be on liquids or soft food but don't risk it.

Not to mention, you won't be able to eat 3 oz chicken at that stage.

No joke. More like three nibbles!

There's a nutritional guideline for a reason. It's hard to get through this phase but it will pass and you'll be on here griping about how you can't get enough calories in each day because you can only fit a bite or two.

Check out the complications threads. What people suffer through when there is a leak is NO JOKE. Causing that intentionally by eating around your diet plan is foolish. People can die from undiagnosed leaks.

Hang in there and find something else to focus on besides food.
