I went to pureed foods with chunk at 2.5 weeks instead of 4. I eat super slow and chew the heck out of my bites and it works for me. Not that I would go out and recommend it to anybody, I mean, it is called cheating!

I think of 'cheating' in terms of partaking of forbidden/bad food choices rather than advancing the stages. I realize the swelling and healing prohibits eating dense food early for good reasons - don't risk damaging the sleeve. The two examples posted so far are just advancing sooner, most likely based on the individual's tolerance this first week with just liquids.

I am 5 days sleeved, today I did stick blend then strain a chicken vegetable soup, thinned it w bone broth. Cream soups/milk products are week 2 and puree for my plan is week 3, soft mushy week 4. I am tolerating an 11oz 30gr shake in 15 minutes and on no pain meds since Thursday.

I just want to caution everyone.. advancing too rapidly can potentially cause a leak. (Not picking on any of these examples specifically.. but just a general warning).

While the stomach is healing, it is vulnerable. Better safe than sorry!

Well as for me, there is no way I am going to put anything remotely solid or dense in there until I am supposed to. My strained/blended soup had no noodles or anything like that - mostly some carrots and a couple green beans. As much as some tuna sounds sooo good I am not a gambler. I will suffer the the damn protein drinks as long as required - besides I already bought them, may as well consume them.
