Hi everyone,

I was sleeved 10/10, so I am 19 days post op today. I have been really struggling with the food situation. My doctor told me to start the puréed foods stage and when I feel "comfortable" I can start eating solids. There is so much conflicting information out there that I don't know if I will stretch my tummy by eating solids too soon. Any advice would help.

I was sleeved on 10/14. I have been eating applesauce, cottage cheese, yogurt, butternut squash soup, sweet potato-apple soup, carrot ginger soup, and 1-2 PREMIER Shakes a day. My biggest struggle is getting the liquids in. I went back to school after the first week ( I am in bed by 8 P.M.!) and there is never enough time to sip, sip, sip....and then run to the ladies room! Best Wishes to you.

I did purée for 2 weeks before being cleared to eat soft solids . I saw the dr at every transition of food stage. I purred chicken and beans with flavor to get my protein in.

Stay with purees or soft foods. The important thing will be to measure portion sizes and stick with recommended amounts. Take it slow - there's no rush.
