My doc started me on pureed food 1 week post op. I handled them very well and Dr said if I can chew my food literally to mush then a little bit would be ok but not recommended. I would not attempt any meat this early without blending it. I ate scrambled eggs with cheese for the first time yesterday and felt fine but was very full the rest of the day after just 4 small bites. I understand how hard it is i'm going through the same thing. Go off what ths docs instructions are so you don't risk getting a leak. But if you eat rice chew chew chew! Lol

I had a friend who tried mexican food a week post op, and she vomitted for two days straight. Please do not jeopardize your health for food. Follow the rules. Trust me...I know it isn't easy. You will have a lifetime to eat these tacos once your stomach heals. Don't risk it this early. This too shall pass. :blink:

I completely agree with Tmyers!

Don't jeopardize your sleeve! It just isn't worth it.

I'm 3 1/2 months out and I still can't tolerate rice. I first tried it at 7 weeks. I felt awful. I'll probably not try it again until 6 months.

A good portion of sleevers can never handle red meat, especially beef again. So there is a chance of never.

Also, rice is very touchy for people.

I had Carne Asada 2 months out, and waited until 3 for rice, on sushi. I tried tortillas around 2 months and they made me a little uncomfy. I can eat maybe 1/2 a small corn one.

Wait it out. Seriously your options are to suffer with your cravings and head hunger or potentially go to the hospital after harming yourself.

Karen...not until 6 weeks out should you have firm Protein (steak-carne asada) and its way too soon now, you should be in your pureed/mushy stage about now. All in good time. It is not like you can eat the way you used to anyway, there is no room in there at this stage and it would be VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. No need to rush it.

I live in Cali.... It's taqueria central and at 5 weeks I ordered ONE carne asada taco. (this made me giggle cause I used to order 5!) I was cleared by my NUT to have beef.

I opened it up and tried to eat just a small bite of meat and NOPE.... Wasn't happening. I had a small bite of meat and it just felt kinda wrong in my belly.... Kind of like a ball rolling around.

I tried again 2 weeks later and it was all good.

Moral of the story is to wait till cleared and proceed with caution!

I had surgery april the 4th and I tolerate beef well. It has to be moist if not it is a nonstarter. For me grilled chicken is much harder than beef. I have only tried small amounts of rice a tablespoon or two and it is ok. Godd luck! I would add that you should wait a bit on the steak and rice maybe 6 weeks or else you will probably be sick.

I was sleeved on 4/4 have not tried rice, Pasta, bread or any carbs like that but have no problems with steak, chicken, pork, burgers really nothing I have eaten had made me sick. I kind of eat a boring diet I guess and there is nothing I miss yet

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
