November 5, 20187 yr You're doing fine, really! All the foods you're eating in the puree phase are sliders, meaning that they "slide" right through your pouch. Once you move on to soft foods, you will start to feel the restriction, I promise! When you've heard the expression "eat around your surgery, or eat around your sleeve" that is what it is referring to. Eating too much of things that don't cause restriction, which enables you to get a load of calories in. (Think how many calories you could manage if all you did was drink chocolate shakes all day.) Sliders are fine right now because you're in healing mode. You'll need to be much more cognizant of them once you've moved on to solid foods. Good luck!
