If you eat something and have no problems with it does that mean your sleeve is tolerating it well and you can continue to eat that type of food? I am one week post op and on my approved foods list for this week (till week 4) is salmon mashed with your fork. However I only chewed it really well instead of using my fork. I felt great after eating, like I could think clearly and I had some energy. I was only able to get down about 2 ounces.

I found early on that sometimes I could eat something and other times I couldn't tolerate that same thing. It's wonderful that you tolerated the salmon. Just proceed with caution each time you have it. Factors affecting whether or not I could tolerate something on any given day included wound inflammation, time of the month, time of the day, how much I had to drink that day, what the last meal was, and, of course, how fast I ate and how much I chewed.

It does get easier to predict eventually!

If your doc approves it, and you chew it super well, seems like it will be ok! Enjoy! Some like to add a little mayo or broth to meat early on, to make sure it is very moist.

My nut said tuna with Mayo was fine... seems like salmon is pretty much the same. Why not?

I'm 3 weeks out and on the soft food stage!!! And my NUT and Doc said salmon was to dense of a fish to eat right now!!! I eat a lot if white flakey fish!!! Flounder, Tilapia, Sea Bass

I have days that something goes down fine and then again I have the same thing and I can't finish it..I call them good and bad tummy days. It happens...
