I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU CAN EAT CERTAIN FOODS POST OP. AFTER YOUR STOMACH HEALS OF COURSE! LIKE SALAD WITH LETTUCE AND STUFF - WILL IT GET STUCK? WHOLE WHEAT PASTA? MACORONI? I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T EAT CORN OR ANY KIND OF NUTS. IS THIS TRUE? THANKS!

I make a chicken "sandwhich" everyday for lunch using whole Romaine Lettuce leaves (with low fat laughing cow cheese, and mustard). No problems with the lettuce. I dont' have perfect restriction but haven't had a problem yet. As for nuts. The only thing that my doctor said about them was that they are high in fat so eat them sparingly. Some doctors also say no corn, probably because of the calories. I have corn once or twice a month no problem. I CAN eat pasta I just don't. Not a real huge favorite of mine. If I was going to have carbs I'd much rather have a nice piece of toast with real butter.

I have a good restriction level. Pasta is a no. I can have a bite but thats all. Corn is ok if chewed well. It's hard to chew corn well enough.

Seriously, why eat salad when you only have a small space to fill and you need to get your Protein in? I pretty much eat no salad. I choose veggies that have Fiber and bulk but also Vitamins. Salad is filler and has no value. Try green Beans.
