I'm only a couple weeks out from being sleeved but I was wondering for those of you have been sleeved for months now, when you started to introduce carbs into your diet.

I know you're supposed to eat Protein first, then veggies, then carbs. I'm just wondering how long it took to add veggies and carbs into your diet. I hear once you start on solid foods, you're just focusing on getting the protein first and then later you can add veggies.

At how many months, can you start to introduce whole wheat bread/crackers/tortilla, brown rice, quinoa and other healthy carbs like that?

I am about 3 months out , but was told by my surgeon at about 2 and a half months some of these good carbs can be tested to see how your sleeve does with them. I was told to hold off on bread unless it is toasted because the doughy texture does not sit well in your sleeve, but I was fine with toast, and crackers just making sure to take small bites and always get protein first. I have not attempted any rice I thought along with bread I would wait for the 3 month mark. hope this is helpful

I will be 2 months out on the 26th. I am allowed to have whole wheats, cream of wheat and oatmeal. I started eating about 1 tblsp of bulgar wheat the other day. I had it the other day with some Peanut Butter and raspberry compote. It was a nice and filling snack. I can also have 3 saltine crackers but I wouldn't do that often personally. I am just sticking to the bulgar, wheat berries and quinoa for now. Really trying to get that Fiber in.

Later Loser!

I am 4 months out and I eat beans and veggies, but since introducing them I've noticed that I have to be even more focused on the protein. It's too easy to slack off.
