I'm one month post op.. And I've had salad frm subway yesterday and today.. I added a little teriyaki sauce, honey mustard and sweet onion.. Was wondering if these dressing might harm my sleeve.. I feel no pain though.. I am worried and confused and my docs really money minded! He won't answer calls and charges alot each time I go there...

Well at a month did your doctor clear you for all food? If so , it should be fine.. Actually more people have more trouble with the actual salad

More than anything else!

He said I can hav soft food.. I can hav semi soft.. I can't eat fruits.. He said if I can eat it then its fine.. He's weird.. He barely answers.. He's the top professional in India so he's basically very proudy.. My surgery was great.. But after that I get no help.. Can u consult ur doctor please... I'm worried

I don't think you should worry.. Many people are cleared for all foods after a month. I would say that when you try a new food try only a little and see how it "feels" if you tolerate it well then it should by ok, your stomach at six weeks is pretty much healed (between 4 and 6 weeks) .

If you want to go easy then I would suggest not eating to many raw veggies for a couple more weeks though...

Doctors in India are real vague when it comes to post-op consults. If you had your surgery in India they usually give you the diet for the next two months. I am one month post-op too and eventhough i eat sprouts my doc told me to stay away from raw veggies like carrots. Only mushy veggies. Having said that if it dint hurt you're probably good. But try to stick to the doc's diet. Good luck!

I think the only thing you really need to worry about is the calorie / fat content of any dressings. Honey mustard is usually pretty high in both, for example. One of my absolute favorite finds has been the spritzer Wish Bone dressings, especially since I found they make a ranch one - love their spray dressings and extremely calorie friendly.

Thank you so much guys..

Check out the Bariatric Surgery Guidebook from Kaiser Fremont. If you don't have a plan from your Dr. I highly recommend it. I followed it without complications, got to goal in 9 months and have been at goal 15 months.

Pay particular attention to post-op eating instructions in Chapter 3 and Vitamin recommendations in Chapter 7.

Here is my doctors link to his nutrition page. There are pdf's that you can print that guide you through each post op phase and the recommended time for each phase. Hope it helps.
