eating too soon?

[Threetimesacharm 1,400]

Everyone I know that has had the same doctor as me or went through the same bariatric clinic all have the same rules reguarding what to eat and when. I know all doctors are different thats why im going to call mine tomorrow before I attemp anything.

why are you even asking us then? Follow your doctors orders to a "T". Are you looking for permission from strangers. Put on those big girl pants and suck it up, follow your program, you will not die if you are on full liquids(which is probably your next stage). This surgery is a big committment, so commit.

Didn't mean to offend but you said you already ate off off plan and wanted opinions....

I will say that at 4 days out your stomach is still numb so things will not necessarily "hurt"

But can cause damage.

You didnt offend me your just being honest. Thanks for your insight. I am gonna talk to my doc before I go any further with eating until he clears me and says its ok. He might say stay on the liquids till wed. I dont know. If he does im gonna stick to what he says. Hes the doctor not me lol

I was on clear liq for a week..then on to mushy for 2 weeks.. then finally some added foods like string cheese and strained Soups . every doc is different and every nut is different.. I was told cuz my stomach was still healing not to eat reg foods yet. and to follow the phases he has designed.

I agree...it's important to follow your surgeon's plan and not worry about the plans that other people have gotten or are following. The horror stories about leaks and complications helped me stay the course for those tough 2 weeks of full liquids. Also, beyond safety, you'll be glad later on for the losses you will see during those liquid weeks.

I get it all of us are food addicts... And we all know what we are supposed to do...

But when we (you) come here looking for someone to "enable" you to go off plan?

"So yeah doctor I know what you said but this lady in the Internet said go for it" 0_o

Sounds crazy when you think about it huh ?

I was sleeved 3/13. I had to do three days of clears prior to surgery so I am now on my 8th day of clears.. and by clears I mean no Protein drinks.. just Water, sugar free flavorings in the water, and clear broths. Of course I'm sick of drinking these drinks. On Tuesday I can add protein powders and milk WOO HOOOO and will stay on that for a week. Now I absolutely feel that I could "handle" mushies right now. I drank over 80 ounces of Fluid the day after surgery with ease so I'm sure I could handle something more substantial... BUT You could not PAY ME ENOUGH to deviate from the plan that I have been given. I want to give my sleeve lots of time to heal in peace without stressing it by adding food ahead of time. We can certainly handle a few weeks of a boring diet, I mean we have the rest of our lives to enjoy eating a variety of delicious foods, right?

I wasnt coming on here to get anyone to enable me to go off plan. I was just getting peoples insight on it. Im sorry you feel so strongly about it and if I offended YOU in anyway im sorry. Last time I checked this was a forum to ask questions about the surgery to get different opinions.

Wow im sorry you just needed to vent your very rude opinion. But that really wasnt needed or called for. Thanks anyway.

I was on Clear liquids for a week. Now 2 weeks full liquid and then 3 weeks soft foods but that can include shaved deli meat, can fish. I LOVE LOVE LOVE canned salmon.

I'm11 days out so have another 10 days of this. I can't say I'm starving, but am missing the "act"of eating. have Tomato Soup 3 times a day to simulate a meal. I miss sharing a meal with my husband right now. I will be excited to actually start to eat a meal again.

Looking forward to a few weeks after I have been on full foods and have a better idea of what I can tolerate, we will be having a date night. All ready splurged on a really nice wine that will be our celebration. Just will only have a small glass but that's when I will feel normal again.

Lol.. No need to apologize, I'm not offended!

My nutritionist plan is two weeks liquids before surgery,1 day all Clear Liquids before surgery, 2 weeks liquids after. Days 15 to 28 soft. Then two weeks semi soft, then move on to regular diet. Will be two weeks Wednesday. So excited! I will say that days 4 and 5 were the absolute worst as far as thinking I was hungry. After that, things were so much better. Just getting about 40 grams of Protein in now. Trying to increase that daily. Good luck friends. We can do this!!!!

My NUT said 2 weeks strained liquids, 10 weeks soft/mush, if it squishes with a fork it's safe. I find all the differences interesting. Makes me curious how they decide what they decide.

[xlovexdangerxmagickx 25]

this is tempting...im also four days out ...hubby made a delish smelling

corned beef/cabbage...ive been dieing for a few mushy pieces of cabbage...i figured they

would enjoy thier meal and i would have my broth and a few pieces of cabbage

Be careful new tummys have trouble digesting lettace....might not be a good idea yet.

[xlovexdangerxmagickx 25]

One week full liquid

One week purred

Two weeks soft.

First week n half was hardest. Mostly head hunger.
