I was on fluids for 3 weeks and wasn't cleared for solids like beef and pork till 6 weeks out, so no, I definitely didn't have those issues. Really surprised your surgeon has you advancing so fast. Your incision isn't anywhere near healed and the staple line is still susceptible to leaking and even getting bits of food stuck in it at this point.

I guess enjoy your fortunately easy recovery, but be careful.

I'm surprised also. I'm five months out and have yet to have beef or pork. So I can't can't really compare to your situation. Good luck!

I am 6 weeks out and was cleared for regular diet at about 4 weeks...I have tried different foods--such as beef and pork...but not until after cleared....I can still only eat a few bites. Soft mushy foods are still a better friend to my stomach than stuff I really have to chew. Be careful not to push yourself you don't want to hurt your new stomach or get back to your old habits.

I'm 3 weeks and still on full liquids. Week 5 is puréed foods, week 6 is soft foods and week 7 starts the adventures into regular eating! I took a miniature bite of lobster on NYE that I pulverized. But otherwise I am following my diet. I'd be afraid of steak and pork for now. But I'm only judging by my external scars and thinking of what my staple line may look like! ???? I hope you have luck!!
