Food paranoia- tomato seeds are out to get me!

[The_von 11]

Hi everyone,

I had my sleeve surgery on August 30, 2016 and I have lost a bunch of weight but I get really worried that I haven't strained my Soups enough. I found Tomato seeds in my Soup and I'm now beating myself up about eating it. Does anyone else do this? It's 16 days post-op and I'm trying to behave but I'm worried about seeds and sutures. I feel like a crazy woman!

Actually it's great to read about someone who takes their post op eating plan serious and understands how important it is to follow it!!!.............But try to relax and don't worry so much......I have no doubt that you're doing great! Just keep doing what you're doing and stick to your plan. You're not crazy! Keep up the good work!

I'm 11 days post op and I'm doing really well but worrying about everything. Is my pureed pureed enough? Did I eat too fast? Did I drink too much liquid at once (I can down almost a cup with no issues)? Have I stretched my sleeve or damaged my sutures...Yes I relate! I like to think I'm just being a worrywart and that everything is fine

I wouldn't worry. I had my surgery on 8/29 and I ate a cracker the other day! I am still taking my eating seriously, but if I were you, I would not stress over the Tomato seeds!

Thanks everyone. I'm stressed about it. 10 days post-op, my assistant (who is absolutely wonderful) accidentally booked me for a lunch meeting with a client and I didn't want to be rude so I had a few tiny bites of ground beef and chewed and gnawed forever until it was liquid. I told my doctor and he was supportive but stern and said I've gone through too much not to make this work. He is a great doctor but I really beat myself up over it. I don't want to mess this up.

I am 6wks out...I should wait till next Tues for raw veggies...but I had them tonight...I cut a 1/2 baby cucumber into tiny pieces, cut up cherry tomatoes and added a little vinegar...I was in heaven! Ate very slow, went down fine. I take my diet very seriously. But this was a spirit booster...hey it's not a McDonald's burger!!
