Yes! Cleared For Solid Food.

[ForMyfamily 84]

Only 12 days after surgery but Doc said I did great in surgery and already I have dropped 50lbs. (3 week pre-op diet and 2 week post-op). So my average is about 10lbs a week so far. I have no trouble with my daily Water intake and usually go over that. I average 4oz with heavy foods like Beans, turkey chili and about 5oz with yogurts or Soups.

I just do not think personally though that they have a set procedure yet. There are just to many people at different stages doing different things like puree for 2 weeks then some only 1 week. Solids at 6 weeks then I get to at only 12 days.

Oh yeah, she still won't let me have coffee though.

Good to hear. Don't go nuts like I did or you'll end up heaving into a garbage can in front of a class of 25 college students. It leads to a frank and interesting discussion about VSG, but was considered unprofessional.

Tried steak yesterday and all went well the rest of the day. Only issue got a little nausea when I took my bedtime meds and tipped the Water glass and chugged. This is the only draw back so far is I forget to drink slow sometimes and forget about being sleeved. My portion size is tiny compared to what I used to eat but am very content with it.

This is going to work, Yes!!!

If you don't mind me asking what kind of steak was it and how many Ozs was you able to eat ?

A new York strip and I only tried about 4ounces. It rocked. The great thing about the sleeve that I did not originally know before looking into it was meat and cheese are great for our Protein. The already were my favorites which works for me.

WOW that's incredible! Good for you! I am surprised your doc did that so early, just be careful though. I completely get the Water thing, I still forget (2months out) and chug and its like a brick wall hits in my chest. However it is getting easier when I do it, that is a good sign. Keep up the good work!
