ok so here's the deal. i am dealing with the Nemo Blizzard right now and i am buried. long story short.

i find myself being able to eat normal things. baked chips, small portion of grilled cheese, whole wheat bread with PBJ on it. grilled chicken nuggets.

now of course i am not eating big portions. all small portions. if i eat too fast i catch myself. when i don't i get bad chest pains/heartburn/gas etc.

now this isnt my plan. i did not plan for this i just have nothing in the house. my wife is pregnant and we also have an 11 month old so time and planning is tough. i am still taking my vitamins and drinking water.

but could anyone else eat out there like this? i mean 2-4 bites and i am full i just think it's amazing. don't worry i am not crazy. once the storm passes i am back to the grocery store for yogurt, protein drinks, and sugar free popsicles.

I'm not trying to down play that he shouldn't be eating solids but scaring the guy to death is a little over the top in my opinion.

RxKid....Don't eat that stuff anymore!! If you don't have anything mushy or liquidity just stick with Protein shakes until blizzard is over!

thanks guys i appreciate it but now i am ruined mentally. i can't stop thinking about this. what if i ruined my new sleeve and caused a staple line leak ???

i searched symptoms. luckily i dont have any pains or cramps or fevers. i learned my lesson i just hope im ok and didnt cause any damage

I'm sure you're fine. Try to relax because you'll work yourself up to thinking you're having symptoms that aren't there! Trust me, there are many people who have done the same thing. Now, go drink a shake and enjoy the snow!n

At some point I think all of us have done something and thought **** did I ruin my sleeve!

Your not alone on that do you know that some people have six weeks of just fluids after surgery? Crazy!

But did you know some people can start soft food type things after a week? Crazy

It's all over the place as far as what is right...

The one thing I will say is that at this stage you will not "feel" it if you eat to much so you need to measure everything you eat! No matter what kind of food you are cleared to eat

I was told by my doc to eat anything I want. In small portions after two weeks. But like you I felt great at day 10 so I tryed different little solids foods and felt fine. I asked my doc about leaks but he said the titanium cord and staples are very strong. And I will be fine. I asked about Beans he said beans should be week 3

Relax! I was cleared by my surgeon to eat reg food around that time! All docs have different ideas! Just like mine doesn't require a pre-op diet! If I lived eating food by permission...you should be fine. I would check with your doc as soon as you can & follow his advice!

....blushing..... We are all here to help each other

I was eating solids 1 week postop on orders from my dr. I clearly didn't die, but I did learn what meats I could tolerate better than others. They even cleared me to have multigrain toast. Bad choice! Came right up & haven't touched bread since. (Sleeved almost 5 months ago) 76 pounds lost so far. For some reason I can't tolerate eggs so I stay away from it. Same as you - only about 4 bites & I'm done. Good luck! Don't stress.

You'll be fine....

seriously. some people on here trying to scare the hell out of me and even sending me private messages lol. but you were awesome and kept it real.
