Mexico

So my sleeve was done may 15th in jerulasm hospital in Mexico, I had no issues until yesterday. Yesterday I had some veggies in my Soup and some bread, even though it was soft I am in pain today. I took a tyonal 3 but still pain. I hope I didn't stretch my stomach.

But in regard to the hospital and recovery house, it was small and at first scary but ok! Clean and very good doctors. I hope I can claim my sleeve on my taxes this year.

A lot of people find they can't eat bread post-op & veggies should be fine, as long as you chew them & they aren't too fibrous.

I am surprised you are eating so much already though! I was sleeved on May 10th by Dr Kelly & still on liquid diet with Protein shakes. No Soups or bread for me yet!

If you feel you need to take a step back & go back to liquids then do that for a couple of days, then try the Soups again.

Yes, bread this early is a no-no for most. It balls up in the stomach and sits there like a rock. Stick to liquids for 2 weeks, mushies for 2 more weeks and then soft food for 2 more weeks, after that whatever you want but watch the caloric count.

Taking it further, anything "white" like bread, rice, etc., should be avoided at all costs. This is a lifestyle change and it was 8 months before I touched a piece of bread. I still avoid it all costs. The tool you have been given just gave you a little wakeup and reminder. By the way, I had my sleeve done at Jerusalem Hospital. I very much enjoyed my stay there. Good luck and rock your sleeve.

bread and Pasta both make me hurt. They also stay in my sleeve for a long time and make it tough for me to drink Water. I avoid both.
