I'm a little freaked out...I had about 3/4 to a cup worth of mashed potatoes that were thinned out with chicken broth (apple sauce consistency) in 15 mins. Not even 2 weeks out yet. Should I be concerned with that amount? I know this is stretching it, but is it possible to blow out your staple line? Thank you in advance! My anxiety and newbie status got the best of me.

I'm not sure what you are asking. But, I think you are saying, did I eat too much?

Are you in discomfort? Knowing what the last bite feels like is important and I think it takes some getting used to.

My understanding is that if rupture your line, you will become super ill pretty fast. Fever and pain. That's all I got...

Thank you! The uncertainty of not knowing my new limits coupled with my anxiety is not helping! Haha

Did you portion out that much or did you keep going back for more? Just measure out 1/3 cup of food and put the rest away before you start eating. At this point, you're not eating to get full and need to measure everything.

I portioned that amount out.

I'm just nervous that I did something wrong or damaged my sleeve.

As my Dr. told me, liquefied food doesn't stop in the stomach but passes right thru into the small intestine and that I would not get a full feeling unless I eat something that will layer in the stomach.

Thank you! I emailed my nutritionist but I don't expect to hear back by Monday. That makes me feel a bit better.

Well, I always say ask your nutritionist, but my team says 1/3 cup of food at each meal for the first six months. I'm five months out now and I'm full on 1/3 cup of food - there's no way I could eat one cup. My advice would be to start getting used to 1/3 cup of food at each meal.

Thanks Sharon! I'll definitely do that!
