What's everyone eating?

[msnyman 1]

I am 2 1/2 weeks post-op and I am so tired of Soup, Jello, applesauce and yogurt. What was everyone else eating at 2 1/2 weeks? Anyone further advanced in your diet at that point in your recovery? I am only getting about 600 calories per day.

Sorry, I was on a full liquid diet for 4 weeks. I was terrified of damaging my sleeve so I never cheated. Plus, my hubby is the "food Nazi" and I knew he'd tattle on me at my 4 week post op visit. Not that I didn't want food - I was starving on day 10. I even emailed my nurse and asked if I could advance my diet at week 3. She said "NO". I had to wait.

That was that. 4 yrs prior when getting my band in, I cheated after the first week. I was single back then, didn't have another set of eyes watching everything I ate. Regretted it ever since. Pushed my band to the limit until it had had enuf. I wasn't gunna do the same thing with my sleeve.

My advice? Follow ur plan. Ask ur nurse if u reallly feel that u can't hold out. Do whatever they say. This time is short, even tho u think u might starve. I assure u, u won't. If u have to sip Tomato Soup all day or drink Protein shakes constantly, do so...

Good luck!
