I haven't been sleeved yet, still waiting for a date. Anyway, I just had some corn on the cob. One of my summer favorites. Is your sleeve able to handle corn? It doesn't really digest anyway so I just wondering how the sleeve handles it. I'm assuming if you can tolerate it, it would be 4 months or more out from surgery.

ONE OF MY FAVS TOO... BUT MY SLEEVE DIDNT LIKE IT... I WAS 11 WEEKS OUT AND EAT A 1/4 OF A COB WITH JUST ALITTE BUTTER... MADE ME SO SICK.. NUT SAID IT WAS THE NATURAL SUGAR IN IT WAS TO MUCH... MADE ME SO SAD TOO.. I LOVE LOVE FRESH SWEET CORN ON THE COB.. SO ENJOY NOW......

My nutritionist said I am not allowed to try corn until 6 months post op.

Wow...I wasnt told not to eat it, now Im scared lol

I was only told no steak or lettuce for 6 months!

I too love corn but since it isnt low carb I havent tried it, I guess i want for 6 months too!!

I have had corn and steak and haven't had a problem.

I am 11 weeks out from surgery. Had corn for the first time tonight and was SO sick. ????

I had a 1/2 of corn on the cob twice last week - no problems. I'm also 3.5 months post op. But I'm also a band to sleeve revision and have not had any problems with any foods

Corn does fine for me in small amounts. I think I started at about 6 months. I do not have discomfort but most all veggies wreak a little havoc on my digestion though.

I'd strongly advise you after you have surgery to stop worrying about how much and how varied a diet you can eat how soon and instead focus on eating what you need to eat to lose as much weight as possible in the first six months.

Seriously -- if you're jonesing for corn, you can have it next summer.

It's not leaving the planet.
