What happens if you eat solid foods too soon.

We had our sleeves march 14,2014 and finished my one week of Clear Liquids and most of my week 2 I was good about staying with liquids. Towards the end, I started adding rotisserie chicken and Soups that aren't strained and found nothing really bothered my stomach...so I sort of skipped the purée phase and soft food phase. My husband and I both have not lost any weight since the first week post-op visit to the doctor...so we are starting week 3 at the same weight that we were last week. The only thing we can think of is the solid food is too much? Anyone else have a stall just two weeks out?

The reason you're on soft and pureed foods, is because your staple line is red raw and still not healed.

You have a MAJOR wound in one of your MAJOR organs.

Although you might think you're all good in the hood, you could be doing yourselves some damage.

They don't (on average) tell you to wait for 6 weeks just to be pains in the bum. Its for your safety.

The three week stall is well documented.

Also, and more importantly, so are the risks of jumping ahead of your eating plan.

Please be sensible.

I had my surgery 3/19 and the liquid diet is really hard. I've taken nibbles here and there and it hurts my tummy so I had to get back on track. The woman that admitted me to the hospital told me that she had the sleeve as I did and completely skipped the puréed stage and went straight to regular food and was fine so maybe it depends in the person but I would be a little afraid. I was also told by another woman that she spent two days in the hospital when she got a piece of chicken stuck and they had to go down her throat with a scope and get it out. Be careful.
