Im 10 days post op and i just wish i can eat real food.. I curious to know if anyone tried eating food this early?

I had some soft chicken and it went down ok. My doc gave me the ok.

Liz...only being just 10 days post op I would really be careful. Your stomach is going to be in its healing stages for a few more weeks now. The liquid stage for post op 2 nd week is still yucky,but don't want real food upsetting the healing.

The 3rd & 4th week includes soft foods and it is still touch and go with me as far as what's going to agree with me. Got thru those weeks and started my NEW NORMAL life today. Figuring foods that have the Protein count I need is getting easier. Stay away form greasy foods, I really pay for those. No throwing up, so sick to stomach, nauseated for hours. Not worth it.

Be patient, after you get to be able to start eating, your weakness and energy will pick up. Remember, during liquid stage keep up with your Protein drinks. They help with energy. Hope this helps. Best of luck...you will do fabulous!!!!

I wasn't even hungry or thinking about any food because of the pain.... I really didn't start eating until.. a month and a half out

This is an opportunity to get your head in the game. You WANT food, but unless it's on YOUR program, you don't NEED food. Follow the program, friend!

Unless your doc has explicitly allowed it, don't jump the gun on the solid food. You want to give your new stomach time to heal and form scar tissue around the staple line.

I was allowed very runny cream of wheat and oatmeal and just a little bit was very filling and took my hunger away. Always ask your doctor or nut first. Your stomach is healing and you DO NOT want a leak! Best of luck to you. Sleeved 8/26/13.

I wouldn't risk going against your doctor's recommendations under any circumstances. You can go without "real food" for as long as you need to to heal properly. Don't let your fat mind get in the way of your trying to emerge skinny body.

I asked this question because ive been so tempted nd a added like 5 pieces of salad geens to my cottage cheese nd it went down ok but then i felt sooooo full nd i was wondering if anyone ate food this early i did self pay in mexico so u really dont get to keep in touch with your Dr but my husband is in the army nd i have insurance so when i get a chance im gonna go get with someone in the xlinic to help me with this process i hvnt been able to rest i hve a 3yr old nd a 6 month old nd the night i came back my hubby had to leave for training at the field nd he will be back thursday but my kids take every last drop of my energy today im feeling depressed and overwhelmed i feel so tired n no energy i can only drink one protein shake 29g of protein i get so naseaus nd the rest of the day i hve broth nd popsickles but i got scared aftert i ate that salad cause i felt soo full im trying my beat to stay focused i dnt want to let food ruin my goals ANYMORE but thankyou all for ur time and ur words

Cottage cheese was my lifesaver.

Try some baby food for more flavor

I am 2 weeks out. I was allowed chicken (chewed well) and puree stuff. I was tired of the protein shakes but I was miserable last night and today. I feel excessively full. I wish I could vomit but I cant. No nausea, stomach pains, or fever.The food is stuck. Ive had drinks all day but no food. I think I ate too much and now I am scared about a leak. Over the weekend I ate a few spoons of mashed potatoes and was feeling great. Now I am burping, gassy, and feel stuffed. Back to liquids I go... maybe its not a leak but just ate too much too soon. Also I need to have a bowel movement so I took fiber gummies.

Google gastric sleeve diet. Many of the bariatric surgeons have their diet progressions online. Here is a link to one: http://www.northwestobesitysurgery.com/pdf/sleeve-gastrectomy-diet.pdf
