So, I am on day 10 and I know that I am ready to move out of liquids. Even thick puréed soup doesn't stick long now. So tonight my mom was going to stop by after she went out to dinner. I asked for a hush puppy. She brought two. I chewed well so they were mushy but I am horrified that I could eat two! And possibly some other dinner here in a bit. I'm freaking out. I watched Dr Alvarez's video on "how big is my stomach" and he says 4-6 oz? So I'm thinking ok, how many ounces are those hush puppies? Shouldn't I still be swollen? Or is day 10 normal to not be that swollen anymore? Am I normal? I'm still in that place where I am so scared I am going to fail. That's all I've known.

I'm almost 2 weeks out so I know how you're feeling. I feel as though I'm getting "hungry" lol

I wouldn't reccomend starches as a starter food. Try cottage cheese, an egg, or some thinly sliced deli meat. I'm looking forward to the eggs as soon as my surgeon Okays it on Tuesday.

Yeah I know but I don't really have anything but soups here yet so I was weak. lol

I do have a small microwaveable chef boy r dee but I think that's mostly carbs too...although some meat.

Feeling a bit better. I ate the small cup of chef boy r dee. Not the best but I need to go to the store. It was a 7.5 oz cup and I could only eat 1/2! That feels good.

The ravioli a in tomatoe sauce?

Yes the little micro ravioli. They are very tiny. Why is tomato bad? I am taking Prevacid.

Oh okay. The acid reflux is killer. My favorite is tomatoe soup and it kills my stomach but tastes delicious, lol

I haven't had any since I've been taking the Prevacid.

What is a hush puppy? Sorry for asking just curious

Its a fried ball like cornbread but usually has onion or jalepeno in it

Wow u ate that 2 weeks out??? I was on full liquids for 3 full weeks...

Yeah. Not good I'm sure. I am allowed to be on puréed, mushy, and soft foods on day 10. That's for 2 weeks and them normal foods.

Wow my surgeon left me on water and tea for 5 days the full liquids until the end of week 3... Now im on soft foods but i have eaten things that are not that soft and everything goes down fine.. Kind of worry about the size of my sleeve too!!! But yeah 2 weeks out i was on full liquids

No offense but......

A) If your Mom brought you a hush puppy, why couldn't she have instead brought you something healthy like an egg?

Why would you choose fried dough as your first solid food? Lifestyle changes are very important here - It's not just a matter of what you CAN get into your stomach. I could get only cheesecake into my stomach if I wanted to but that wouldn't help me lose weight.

slider foods will always "slide". just like mom2irishtwins said, if you eat healthier things youll find that they dont slide easily. like eggs, veggies and fruits and healthier carbs but i think ur too early for that. anything considered junk food will slide through your sleeve like potatoe chips, chocolate, hush puppies and such, basically carbs and no nutritional value foods.

If you do not do some research and learn what is ok to eat and not ok, you will not be very good with this tool you have now, it dose not lose the weight for you you have to feed it right in order for it to work with you to lose the weight I dont see how anyone came this far without learning this. I wish you the best of luck but please learn how to feed your sleeve so it works right. FRIED BREAD,you had to know
