Too soon [emoji51]

I succumbed to my salty crunchy wants and ate a small handful of peanuts. My friend said I'm not allowed to eat that until after 3 months post-op. I'm only 2 weeks out. No issues or pain but I can hear my tummy rumble a little. I knew I shouldn't have but didn't think it would be that big of a deal considering I ate very slowly. Should I worry? Should I call the doc and admit to my mischievous?

It can be dangerous while you are still healing. Eating off plan - especially nuts- can cause significant complications and even be life threatening. If you have pain or don't feel right - call your surgeon right away. You may not have any issues but it's so important to stick to your surgeon's instructions.

Don't do it again your stomach is still healing! What if a peanut chunk gets caught in where the staples are between a piece of stomach lining? Then you would get a bacteria which can do many things that can kill you... Follow the rules so you won't have problems down the road

I got a peanut stuck at 3 months post-op and found out I had a stricture. Apparently peanuts do not digest very well. Keep an eye out for issues and don't do it again.

@@godarmourbearer, they are correct but I did the same thing at two weeks, only with popcorn. No issues but the ones on this site did warn me afterwards so I stopped. On my month check up, however, my doctor told me I was healed inside and free to eat anything, within reason, and when I told her about the popcorn, she said it was fine. Lol. It's so funny how before surgery I would eat whatever and now, almost 2 months post op, I can only eat a few things and I find myself having to force myself to eat. My whole mindset has changed. Still try to do Protein first, but I am recently finding I am not hitting my goals of 80-100 grams if I don't drink at least 40 grams of it. I just can't eat like I used to.... I know that's the point of the sleeve, but I'm SHOCKED that my whole mindset has changed and I eat to survive, not live to eat. I still haven't had fried foods, sweets, Pasta, rice, potatoes, or bread. Funny thing is, I don't miss any of that. I hope it doesn't change. Any of you long time sleevers, did you ever go back to eating "poorly", or non nutritional foods?

Also, you chewed it really well. You should be okay.
