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 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.

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
