I am wondering if anyone had advanced their food level stages at a faster pace then recommended, and if so- what were the results. I am only on day 7, but my sleeve is tolerating everything i put in it extremely well. I was drinking choc milk ( just a few sips) in day 4. i later found out that was a big no-no, but my sleeve could care less. I am getting bored fast with soups and yogurt and would like to progress to some sophisticated softies like eggs. Onviously, if i didnt get this done in Mexico, I could ask my doc. i cant do that. Also is it bad to be swallowing whole bariatric vitamins at this stage? My sleeve took it quite well.

I was allowed to swallow whole Vitamins at 7 days post-op. You should stick to the plan your surgeon/nutritionist set for you and avoid the temptation to skip ahead. They have those guidelines in place for a reason!

I'm curious about why you can't ask your surgeon though.... I had my surgery in Mexico too and had plenty of opportunity for follow-up questions via phone and email post-op.

Eggs are on my list for 7 days post op as well as tuna & chicken salad. Also mashed potatoes so I would say " go for it"

@ - Why was drinking chocolate a no - no?

I would say follow your doctor's orders to a T. Just because your tummy allows you to, doesn't mean you should. You could cause harm to your new tummy. The diet sucks and it's boring...you invested a lot in this surgery, don't let your head hunger get the best of you!
