10 Days

[gabby899 37]

Ok I was sleeved the 28th of sept. what at 10 days out were you out there in sleeve land able to eat? Aside from liquid. And I know that all dr orders are different but tell me how you are doing.

I was sleeved the day before you. I am eating cream of mushroom Soup (strained), no sugar added apple sauce, low fat cottage cheese, myoplex Protein and Premier chocolate Protein Shakes from costco, sugar free jellos and puddings, light and fit yogurt, cream of Tomato Soup, broth and of course Water.< /p>

do you feel like you could eat regular foods? or have you tried?

[jaygee65 7]

I feel like I could totally handle regular foods but I don't want to go backwards in recovery. Just like any injury or surgery. Sometimes we feel great but can over do it and end up several steps back. I am afraid if I eat mashed potatoes or toast it would injure my stomach pouch and be worse off. So I am sucking it up and sticking to drs orders. You can do it. You will have ups and downs, I know I have. I've gotten ticked off at my family for eating regular food and enjoying them near me. Now the go in another room to eat. I just keep reminding my self it's a marathon and I can't just cut across the park and be a winner, I have to run the entire course and some parts of that course will be worse than others. Wait to add new stages until you are cleared or until the time frame is appropriate not just because you feel great and "think" it is time and you can handle it. In my humble opinion.

Agreed! I love this website/forum. It has really helped these past few days with support and knowledge. And just knowing there are other people going through the same emotions as I am. ????

I was sleeved September 27th and I have eaten egg, shrimp, salami, cream cheese and regular cheese, chicken, turkey, ham, pot roast, pepperchinis, olives... I didnt go on pureeds, I have tolerated everything too well except chicken 1 time. I gained five pounds eating this stuff after 4 days SO not worth it. I found that just because I cn tolerate it does NOT mean I should eat it. Now Im on strickly fish and eggs.< /p>

[gabby899 37]

I'm so mad. My belly tolerates stuff but was told today NO! Saturday I can start purée. I don't get why everyone's diet is different when the surgery is the same!

Oh... I was sleeved October 4th and I am still on a liquid diet!

[Chills562 12]

I was sleeved on 10/9 myself and I wonder how I am able to drink/sip almost a whole 16.9 oz. Bottle of Water while I am walking my mile?

I can also drink 4-6 oz od broth (so good) at a time...

[gottaloozit 27]

I have the same issue - I can drink and drink any Fluid and my stomach has yet to feel full at all. I was sleeved 10/11/12 (5 days out). What IS up with that? Makes me worried that I will not feel restricted with solid food......
