I was wondering if I am over doing . I am on my 14 days of sleeve and already getting tuna fish and soft meat down pretty well. Not big portion but enough to fell full. Worry about getting leak. Told my doctor yesterday and she didn’t seems worry. Anyone can get food down well like me?

At 2 weeks postop I was allowed to move from liquid diet to pureed foods. I too was able to get down tuna fish (which I did not puree but chewed the heck out of) and then chicken and black beans which I did puree. I think that is standard. Just be sure to not overdo it. I always get a pressure right around my diaphragm when I know I've had enough.

Pj 1959 thank you. And now I think you already can eat normal food right? I am no overdoing I feel full I stop, but I am chewing food not just paste.

I'm at the same stage as you, day 17. I'm getting these types of food down as well.

I am also at day 17 and I am having these foods. So glad to read someone else is experiencing the same thing I was worried.

Isn't it strange how each DR has their own guidelines. I had to drink Protein drinks for 2 weeks before my RNY and then for 4 weeks after. I was so afraid to eat!! I didn't want to mess up my last hope!! That is just how I felt. I definitely couldn't eat a steak, I still have problems with beef. Have a great evening.

Tomorrow is 5 weeks postop for me. They told me not to start eating normal food until 6 weeks and I have a NUT class on January 3rd. However, I have stopped pureeing my foods and am tolerating it fine. I kind of mash up my veggies and fruits that they allowed me for this 6-week period, not totally pureed, and then chew my chicken or protein like shrimp/fish really good. I have not moved onto beef or nuts, etc., yet.

Oh gosh thank you everybody! I am in pain on my right side but I think I just Bruce a little so going slow again will be a good think for me.

I’m on week 5 and haven’t had many issues at all. I have been able to tolerate everything I have eaten so far and I’m on soft/texture foods. I have one more week and then my nutritionist said I can then start to incorporate all foods just little by little to see what I can and can not tolerate.

April76 on your week 2 were you eating things soft but needs to chew?
