I know rice is a hard "food" for post op bariatric patients but I am curious about PERSONAL experiences dealing with Quinoa or Couscous?

If you eat it, how long after surgery did you try?

​I'll be curious to see others advise. My NUT just told me I could try quinoa in small portions. It is Protein but also carb (though good carb). I've never had it (even pre-op). I am about 3 1/2 months post-op.

I was told I can have quinoa during the regular food stage. Every Dr is different but the regular stage for me started at week 5. He suggested quinoa because it's a good source of protein.

I have no restrictions regarding what I am allowed to eat, just no calories from liquids. Since week 7 post op.
