Two weeks post sleeve and I too am ready to take a bite of certain food chewing and spitting out. I need help today I eat three pieces of sweetest fish while out shopping i was hungry. I feel full off of those gummy things and I don't want them again

I will admit to chewing something without swallowing and spitting it out during my liquid only phase.

No judgement please!

I am 9 days post-op and have been so tempted to chew some real food and spit it out, but I am terrified I'll swallow it by accident and risk rupturing my sleeve. I have heard stories of people licking certain foods to get the flavor - at this point, I'm not above it.

After two weeks of liquids I was so starving I added baby rice Cereal to Protein shake and I survived. Made my new sleeve so happy.

Well thank goodness I'm not the only one.. like I said; I'm not starving, I think I can thank the Protein shakes for that but just really want to chew and taste something delicious!

That's a great idea on a stomach with staples that's not fully healed. Really.

Pre op sucks. It's tough and you just have to shoulder through it.

Post op MATTERs. Your health is at stake. IT MATTERS. Learn the discipline in pre-op so you can muster through it in post op. Seriously. For some, their life could be at stake. The risks of causing leaks sucks MUCH more than a few bites of "real food" would feel.

Steam shrimp are very soft! It depends on where you had your surgery at and the doctor's list of do's and don't

Unless you can mash it easily with a fork, it's not considered soft. But if you want to eat shrimp at just over two weeks out, more power to you!

I'm not trying to be judgmental but this is extremely dangerous!!! You could cause serious complications - including life threatening ones! Bring allowed foods or drinks with you if you go anywhere - you really are putting yourself at great risk by eating off plan - especially something like swedish fish. Please be careful.

@@amberb1979 Please don't chew and spit out food. This is a form of an eating disorder. It also causes your stomach to start the digestion process and can increase acid production - making you have issues with GERD.

No judgement - but this is dangerous territory. It's a form of an eating disorder - and it starts the digestion process which will cause an increase of stomach acid. You also can take in calories and sugars.

Thanks for the info.

I was hungry and at the moment I did what made feel good. I did not dump or threw up afterwards. I am sick of those sugar free drinks which are ten times sweeter than the regular ones. Most ppl are able to eat soft foods after two weeks of being sleeved. Having steam shrimp or baked fish was okay by me. The only reason why my doctor/hospital is on a strick liquid diet is because of insurance reasons, the more restrictions apply to the package makes it easier to approve and pay for surgeries especially for smaller framed ppl as myself (212lbs 5'4 BMI 35, day of surgery Sept 26, 2016 203lbs and today 189lbs Oct 11, 2016).
