Going strong and then failed. Did I ruin my sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I’m 2 days away from 3 weeks post op. I have been following a plan of Protein Shakes, Jello, purée veggie Soups with Greek yogurt and Water. Today I made the mistake of indulging in more solid food. I chewed to a purée consistency and made sure to not eat more than 4 oz. I had no issues other than the crazy guilt and worry I’m now experiencing. Did I ruin my sleeve?

Not at all I went through exactly the same thing I'm now 8 weeks and I'm super restricted now

Nope. You didn’t ruin a thing.
I have a super conservative Doctor. I wasn’t supposed to begin chewing food until June 20th (sleeved 5/17) but had to go out of town June 14. I packed shakes to meet all Protein goals but it has been so hectic, I’ve had to use food after the 40g protein morning shake. I’m chewing to purée. Eating 1-2 oz (cannot get more than that in at one time) of only highest/best protein option and getting my supplements in. My Doctors says if my stomach is happy then everything is fabulous!!!! I feel awesome. Still never hungry. But the body needs great nutrition to look and feel great!

Thank you for the perspective. I really appreciate it

of course not. I started soft foods at two weeks. Seems everyone's plan is different for different reasons. I wouldn't beat myself up over it, but just resume your plan if it makes you feel better about it?

Keep to your portion sizes!!! Try foods as you can tolerate. Raw veggies or hard fruits are a few months away, but you have plenty of options. Good luck, the most difficult part is over.
