Thank you for your concern but I was asking for a "realistic" time frame from other sleeve patients on being released to solid foods. There are many other bariatric programs that allow solid foods sooner than mine. I don't appreciate being called "foolish" or "dumb" concerning a question about my procedure. My question was pretty specific to tearing the staple line, and I was asking for you to question my long term success. If my doctor had me following the MIST program manual then I would have not been released back into the gym as early as I was. Just trying to get input from others that have gone through the same procedure. I'm a former competitive power lifter and college athlete my body is used to receiving 200-300 grams of Protein a day. As I stated in my original post " I don't feel like my body is receiving the fuel "protein" it needs for my activity level. It has nothing to do with cravings but more to do with increasing my protein level.

I had my sleeve on 12/1 and have had no problems. After a week I felt good enough to resume most all regular activities. At my one week post op my doctor said I could go back to the gym and do what ever I felt comfortable doing. My problem is I want to start eating real food again. I'm supposed to be on puréed food for another 2 weeks and I'm having a hard time. Some other literature I read people were starting solid foods at 4 weeks. My main concern is tearing the staple line and having a leak. I don't go back to my doctor for another 3 weeks and don't think I wait. I don't feel like I'm getting the fuel my body needs to be as active as I am on protein shakes and puréed foods. What is the realistic percentage of tearing the staple line if I add some solid protein like baked fish or chicken breast?
