What were u eating at 3 weeks out?

Nothing..I was in a coma!

I was eating 2 oz of plain greek yogurt mixed with sugar free jelly, low fat cottage cheese with Mrs. Dash for flavoring, baked egg fritatas and turkey chili. And I pretty much stuck to that for several weeks. Don't rush your stomach - mine was very slow to heal.

Why were you in a coma??

Mrs dash is a good idea never thought of it

i went toxic only 4 days after my sleeve surgery...They found I had a leak and the infection was so bad that they had to operate to clean out my chest...The pain would have been so intense had I stayed awake so they decided to induce a come for a few days....A few days turned into 19 days and the rest...well.....the rest is just worse...But that is why I was in a coma!

Sad outcome. I hear that's very rare.

I'm 2.5 weeks out, broth Soup with soft potatoes, yogurt', pudding, only 1/4-1/2 c.

I am on soft food stage. The 2nd week out my doctor put me on soft foods. Chicken, fish, turkey, any of which can also be deli meats. I can eat grits, eggs, cooked veggies. Special K chips. Fruit in juice/water. Tuna. I have a large variety. I will be on soft foods for 1 more week. On my 5th week, I can incorporate everything back as long as I can tolerate.

I am on clear liquids for the first three weeks. This weekend I get to start pureed foods for a week, then the week after that I can start soft chopped foods.

Wow! That is awesome. How is your weight loss going? I feel like every time I eat a new or more substantial food, my progress stalls. :-/

So I have a question. Is sucking on saltine crackers bad? I do require a high sodium diet so i'm not concerned with that, just curious if sucking on food and not swallowing it, is just as bad?

I was actually allowed to eat saltines at week 2. They melt pretty quickly.

Good I dont feel so bad then. Thank you.

Every week is getting better. Had my first official dumping tonite though. Thought it didn't happen with sleeve. Did not eat too much, just potato soup. Not fun

t does happen with the sleeve, not as much but if you eat stuff that does not agree with you or a lot of sliders your stomach will dump!!!!!been there done that a few times....

Totally not cool! This whole thing is such an adventure.

My doc said I could have pureed meats and veg and cottage cheese etc 2 weeks after surgery. But I couldn't keep it down. So I reverted back to protein shakes for a week or two (three!). Had some minced beef yesterday, which was great, and some porridge for breakfast today. Tried another portion of minced meat today, but it felt really uncomfortable and I got the slimes. Progress is much slower than I expected it to be, but that's because I had WRONG expectations!!! Becoming more patient by the day... :-)
