11 Days Post Op

I have lost 17 pounds in 11 days and now I am on my puree diet I am so scared to eat I think I might cause myself a leakage.

I'm 15 days tomorrow and I feel the same as you. It scares me to death that I should move on to soft food. I'm worried I might get a leak or hurt my sleeve.

Hi I was sleeved almost a month ago. And I still feel like that. I watch everything I eat n chew it very well. I tell my hubby at night after I ate something I feel like I put a whole in my stomach w the food I ate.

Thanks I am not alone in this I though I was thinking nonsense but honestly it is scary.

I start eating meals on wednesday and I'm very scard that I don't eat something to hard or a dry piece of meat that can put a whole in the sleeve.

I ate an omelette today really scrambled eggs with some cheese and a slice of avocado

Well, about four bites of that and I was soooooo full!

How will we know if we do damage to our sleeve? I guess that's what worries me.

Is the damage concern because you don't think your sleeve has healed enough to handle the food now?

Consider this - it seems like every doctor has their own timeline for advancing to the next stage, some earlier, some later. No doctor would risk the lives of their patients, their reputations, or potential lawsuits by advising patients to begin eating too early.

Not really I guess is more of my concious speaking to me because I love food n I don't want to put the wrong stuff in it u know us Puerto Rican use a lot of spices and fried food. So I guess is more of I am scared has nothing to do with the Dr.
