July 2, 201313 yr I just started with soft foods today, but... I've kinda decided not to. They don't give enough bang for the nutritional buck. YMMV.
July 2, 201313 yr It was allowed on my plan at 4 months. I don't eat bread, rice, or pasta very often, and when I do, I keep it to the minimum, maybe one of them once or twice a week, or maybe less.
July 2, 201313 yr I was allowed "thin" type breads at 8 weeks. I still avoid most bread, pasta, and rice, although I have eaten all of those things since surgery. It honestly doesn't appeal to me- the "doughy-ness" of the bread is a turn-off. Hard to explain...lol
July 2, 201313 yr my office is the same, no carbs till goal weight. no fruit, no rice, no bread, no pasta... not even beans or potatoes. the puree stage will be interesting.

July 2, 201313 yr how far out are you Jessica anne? I was just sleeved on the 19th Getting sleeved in 2 days!!
July 2, 201313 yr how far out are you Jessica anne? I was just sleeved on the 19th How are you feeling? I was sleeved 5 days ago. Going great for me so far, down 8 lbs! But today I was bloated all day and very uncomfortable
July 2, 201313 yr Hi! I'm good. it's been very little drama. I have found that if I shift all my protein shake intake to the AM it helps with that weird bloating/over full feeling. if I drink them too late in the day i feel icky. Are you excited Jessica? Did they tell you to bring your own shakes to the hospital. I was so glad I did, the hospital shakes are NASTY

Sounds like a good idea! I'm a little nervous. My mom was supposed to be sleeved last Monday, but when they opened her up she had cirrhosis of the liver and has to be sewn back up! She was completely cut open too, not laparoscopic.
July 2, 201313 yr Oh no! poor thing! How is she doing now? You will be ok! When they did mine they found a cyst on my fallopian tube and had to call in a gyno consult while I was under but everything turned out to be ok. I felt really good after surgery, it was like blinking and it was over. my only bummer is I still can't really bend or lift anything but I am walking about totally fine. you will do great! Definitely bring your won shakes, you don't want to mess around with flavors when you are all layin' in that bed.

I've had 2 csections so I hope the pain is similar or less lol!
July 2, 201313 yr I think it is less! I haven't had a c section BUT was with many friends who did and they couldn't walk for a few days. I literally stood up after surgery and walked myself to the bathroom right after I woke up. pain killers at home for only 2 days before bed and I only used them twice in the hospital before bed. i'm glad your mom is doing ok
July 8, 201313 yr Haven't had rice yet. Had a few bites of bread today and felt sooo horrible afterwards, I've sworn never again. Ditto for rice and pasta.
When did u all start having bread and rice???
