I think we have all felt that way. My doc had me eating egg before I left the hospital. I am 1 month out and I can eat anything. I do have to eat slow and that I am having trouble with. So many years of eating big bites is a hard habit to break. I popped a ritz cracker with chix salad in to my mouth and chewed alittle and swallowed like I used to. Big mistake!! hurt for atleast 10 min. That taught me a lesson. My dic also said it is not possible to hurt, stretch your sleeve. Another mistake I made was I had a margarita then 30 min. later I ate. food came right back up. I don't think I will try alcohol for a bit longer!!! Live and learn!!!

I must disagree with your doctor....

It is possible to hurt your sleeve. Also if someone eats to over full often enough the sleeve most definitely can stretch!

I've heard that in Europe the doctors don't believe in Protein Shakes and put you on solid food as soon as you can take it. For me, I just followed my doctor's orders and all has been well, other than being sick of Protein Drinks. Wy jinx a good thing? I figure my doctor and nut know more about this than info. Tomorrow is 6 weeks. I'm soooo glad to be past the first month. I still find that softer foods like fish and cottage cheese sit better. Unfortunately, avocados do too! :D
