Mushies in Week 1

I know that I will get alot of flack for this but I didn't realise how bad my food addiction was until I got sleeved a week ago.  For the most part I have been good on the liquids but started feeling hungry, very hungry so I tried mashed potatoes and tuna salad (no veggies).  My nutritionist said it is okay to try but got stomach cramps.  Did/does anybody get these cramps after eating? Is it possible that this could cause my sleeve to leak?  BTW I know that I need to nip this in the bud since success rests on changing my food choices.  Thanks for listening.

Yes, it is possible to get a leak from bumping up the stages of the diet, that's why you are on liquids.

Thanks for your response.  I reverted mostly to liquids and its been okay.  When are you out of the woods regarding leakage?  When is the stomach fully healed?  Looking forward to responses!

Usually about 6 weeks post op you are pretty well good to go for leaks.  There are exceptions, but they are quite rare.

I know you posted this a little while ago, but I am SOO right there right now. I got sleeved on Monday and it is killing me not to eat "something". I ate a little something yesterday and my stomach cramped so much I wanted to die. How did you make it through?
