i had my surgery on june 5th, and was cleared for food the friday before father's day which was around june 17ish. i actually had a bit of grilled porkchop. mmmmmmm the best food you ever eat will be the first food you eat after the liquied diet. chew slow and long and savor every tiny bite.

I don't go on to solid foods for 3 months!!!

Stage 1 liquid only diet up til 10 days

Stage 2 smooth liquid diet eg Soups etc up til 28 days

Stage 3 puréed food up til 3 months

Then I'm allowed to slowly add in hard foods

What did your doctor have to check to clear you? I have my two week visit in a week. I'm only eight days out, but I have tried a few mushy foods already and they were fine. Did he ask you if you'd tried anything, and how it went? Did they do another xray to make sure there were no leaks?

It works totally different where I am. I'm across in Scotlanad. They just send you home with a diet plan on what you can eat at what stage and let you get on with it. I was sleeved on the 7th of this month and don't even see a nut again until the 4th December. I am being very careful and sticking to it. Xx

I was cleared after 2 weeks as well. Different doctors have different programs.

My doctor and nut have a 6 week plan, but told me that when I got to puree (where I am right now) I can go ahead and proceed as I feel comfortable. I have eaten chicken, tuna, and pork loin and haven't had any problems. I actually haven't had any problems with anything except for Cream of Wheat. Other than that, I have had an amazingly easy experience!

_{I got cleared after 2 weeks too....it makes me a little nervous - just ate some chili and my tummy feels like it's going to explode....so I think this sleeve thing is working}
