I ate some soft food, what's the worst that could happen?

[Joshua Torode 2]

Hi I was sleeved on the 25th of Jan, my diet has been consisting of pureed and liquidized foods, today I made some super soft scrambled egg and when eating it chewed it a lot and mushed it using the roof of my mouth. I didn't realise this wasn't on my food list until I re-read my diet sheet today. I'm not supposed to start foods like this for another 2 weeks, should I call my Dr's direct line or is it not an emergency?

Sounds like you're two weeks out. I'm allowed to eat soft foods like eggs, cottage cheese etc two weeks out (I.e. Days 15-30) but we have different doctors who have different protocols so I'd say you should probably call your doctor. Be sure to tell them it was a mix up and also if you've felt any reactions after eating it.

If you did not get sick from it, it's not going to hurt you. The list is a guide, and you are going to notice every doctor is different. Just take note, if the eggs went well, that's a good sign that you are going to be able to eat eggs without an issue. For the mean time keep up with your Nut and Doctors orders.

Best of luck to you.

I was on real food 8 days after surgery. My doctor didn't have a purée stage because he wanted us to start eating ASAP. I was sleeved on 12/21. I could eat eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, yogurt, Beans, and cheese. There are more items this is just a quick list. I am not going to tell you what you need to do just what my doctor had me do.

Ditto shortyvel. I was sleeved on 1/26 and did the same thing. My doctor doesn't allow soft scrambled eggs until the 3rd month post op, which I think is insane, but still trying to stick to their guidelines.

I was started on soft foods at two weeks.

Your plan is so much more progressive than mine. I am still on Clear liquids, right, one week. Then second week "full" liquids, so pretty much Protein shakes and broth and Clear Liquids. 3rd week, soft foods like thicker Soups. Oh boy! Forth week, mushier foods. C'est la Vie! My surgery however was a 'revision' but I did notice they do this for all of their WLS.

It's not an emergency. An emergency is when you can't breathe, or you have sudden pain that wakes you from sleep.

Haha! We'll be hitting the soft foods at the same time I think. Here's my whole 30 days lol:

If you like cottage cheese, the best I've ever tasted is made by "Kalona". Yes, I am fantasizing about cottage cheese right about now, lol.
