Did I Do Damage?

[tiffanywheat 8]

I am 12 days post op. When I went for my one week check my Dr told me I could eat what I could tolerate but not to overdue it. I have been doing well eating extremely small portions of what my family eats. I had my small dinner and then we had a party to attend. We were there for about an hour and I couldn't stop grazing. I finally went home because I knew I was eating too much. Now here it is 3.5 hours later and I had to have a few bites because I was hungry. I feel fine but am scared I did some kind of damage. Advice?

i'm right in this boat with you. Have been doing great and following diet but bored to tears. I was sleeved on Oct 17 so about two and a half weeks out...today i couldn't stand it and ate some small chopped chicken salad (and chewed lots) it stayed down fine. I also had some pinkberry frozen yogurt which made me sick sick sick. I'm going back on bandwagon tomorrow, but i do see a lot of people, like Kaiser and Mexico folks, get to have mushy foods at two weeks out (like tuna and chicken that is soft and moist) so i'm thinking we probably didn't do damage, but we should probably "whoa nelly. I see that a lot of people are told no meat at all until at least 6 weeks out when your sleeve staple line is really healed (though when i look at external incisions they sure seem healed already LOL) so i'm thinking i better just stay off meat, point being you don't want your tummy working too hard to digest which could affect your staple line. I bet we're okay, just be careful and try to follow plan from now on. I'm scared of messing up again, do not want to damage this!

That's what scares me. My Dr diet plan is broad based its from week 2 through 7 which includes everything up to ground beef! When I asked him what exactly I could eat he told me anything I could tolerate. Not exactly helpful. Maybe I will do Soups and shakes for awhile...

Do EVERYTHING your doctor says- if you are confused at all.... Ask your DR or NUT. Follow your eating plan for best results.

You can't turn back time and "un-graze"... So drink your Water, measure your food and avoid temptations like parties if you can't help yourself.

As time passes it will get easier and you will figure out what works for you.

Good luck.

You know I don't think my stomach was saying it was full exactly, but my head was. It was weird when I sit down for a meal I eat very small amounts and do feel full. I don't know if it was because I would have a bit here and there then walk away and come back for more. I know I will not put myself in that setting again for awhile. I had a lapband previously and it took awhile to get used to the new "me" so to speak so until I get a hold of my new self I think I will stear clear of parties with the whole shaband spread out.
