Screwed up my post op diet and went through my stages and found I could eat actual food. Not making unhealthy choices or eating too much. Chewing til mush. But. I should be having purées. Should I go back to them? I am more concerned about my belly than my weight loss in that regard I guess.

You should follow the instructions your surgeon and/or nutritionist gave you. Period. Why would you go through surgery and then do anything else?

You should stick with whatever stage your in per dr or nuts instructions. Just because you "can" doesn't mean you should. Allowing your tummy to properly heal is important. I find that although I'm in my 6th week I sometime revert back to purée because it is more comfortable for the tummy. Although it sounds like you had no issues. I would certainly hate to damage what you have just gone through getting reworked. Best of luck.

I'm confused did you skip a step in accident ? I had to write mine on a calendar to keep track of the steps and days!

You had surgery in December and you went through all your stages? It's only the 15tth so even if you had surgery on the 1rst that's only 2 weeks. Did the doctor explain what stages they wanted you to follow and for how long or did you just start eating what your wanted?

If you just ate what you wanted expecting the sleeve to stop you and it didn't then I think you need to come up with a new plan before you stretch your stomach out. Review your plan with your doctor and see where you can make adjustments.

I'm one of the rare people whose plan put me on purees the day I got home from the hospital and was on soft solids a week post op. Having said that, this was my plan and I tried my best to follow it. I'm not saying I was a perfect angel. Purees made me very sad. But I did my best to follow the plan given to me. Do your best to follow the instructions given to you. Don't beat yourself up. Just move onward and take every day one day at a time.

I accidentally skipped ahead and I called my nut and she said if I felt okay then it was fine but I went back to the plan. In your case I would say go back to liquids or puree. I just want my stomach to heal. I'm sure you do too, good luck!
