DO ANYONE KNOW...AROUND WHAT WEEK OR MONTH ARE WE ABLE TO EAT REALLLLLL FOOD. Im just curious?!?

You should be able to eat real food starting in week 5 or 6. Start to introduce proteins that do not cause you trouble. Perhaps some chicken, pork or salmon. A lot of people struggle with beef this early on in most forms like hamburger, steak and shredded. Some do not. See if you can handle 2-3 ounces of these proteins. If not, no worries. You can always try again in a couple weeks. You can also start to eat cooked and steamed vegetables at this time, but do watch out for very fibrous vegetables like squash as it could irritate your stomach. Raw vegetables can be introduced after 3 months. By about month 5 or 6, you should be able to eat almost anything in terms of proteins and vegetables. You are welcome to also eat fruits, but do stick to the fibrous fruits as they will be lower in glycemic values and be absorbed more slowly. It is this slow absorption of carbohydrates that will be good for you and not be converted immediately into energy for the body. Spikes in insulin will cause hunger and is generally something you should try and avoid. Nuts and lentils are good carbs and fats that will help with energy also. As for rice and other starchy carbohydrates like potatoes, do try and limit eating these as they are converted into energy too quickly and may result in slower weight loss.

Hola! Soy Janett naci y vivo en Phoenix, de padres Mexicanos.. Aun espero que mi aseguranza responda al appeal.. Es emocionante ver como bajan de peso ! Thats awesome!!

Alguien esta en la etapa PURE. Quiero ideas...ya no quiero liquidos...si puedo comer huevos ...pescado y cottage cheese <----- yukkkk. Pero siendo hispana necesitamos una variedad de otras comidas Que podemos incorporar...ideas alguien ?

Yo me hice mi cirugia 4/17/12. Me acuedo que en la etapa del puree mi mama me hacia sopas lipton con papas, zanahorria y las pasaba por la licuadora. Siempre y cuando las sopas sean healthy te las puedes comer asi por que lo q importa es q sea puree.
