I'm 9 days post op and can eat a small jello @ one time. I don't want to hurt my new sleeve.

2 weeks, when I started eating pureed dense Protein. During my full liquids, I could have light yogurt and could get down 5.3 oz single cup of greek yogurt with no isses. I can barely eat 2 oz of protein without feeling like I got socked in the stomach.

I am still working with my sleeve to understand its signals.

When I started eating food.......the liquids went through easier.......I don't think you hurt your sleeve.

Congratulations, welcome to the losers bench!

Thank you!! I haven't tried a full yogurt yet. I take out half which is 3oz. I've heard so many people express how your sleeve is numb, don't want to chance blowing a staple.

It's profoundly unlikely that this would ever happen. You won't "blow a staple." In the beginning, with liquids, I didn't feel full or feel the "restrictions" the sleeve imposes. For me it changed as soon as I moved to pureed foods.

Plus, my doc considered Jello a clear liquid. Which it is, as soon as it hits your body it liquefies!

Soft foods are when you'll realize how restrictive that sleeve really is - I couldn't eat much more than a scrambled egg in a sitting for more than a year.
