Curious when everyone introduced carbs. I'm one month post-op. Just as I'm able to tolerate textures just slightly more than baby food, I develop a very heavy metallic taste in my mouth. It's awful, everything I eat and drink tastes awful, even Water. Having a hard time eating and drinking. Doc gave me a new prescription to control acid, which he said is causing the metallic taste. But for now, everything makes me nauseaus. Starting to get weak from not eating and drinking. I so badly just want to eat a piece of dry toast with some jelly, which always used to soothe my stomach. No idea what it would do now, but I'm death staring the toaster every time I walk by it. I think my diet list has no complex carbs for like 6 mons or something ridiculous.

Carbs are in everything. I think I was allowed breads around 6 mths, but I still shy away from processed white carbs & breads. I get plant based carbs from beans & dairy with no negative impact on my weight loss.

You want the weight to come off as steadily and as quickly as possible? Stay away fromy bread, rice, and Pasta until you are at least at 75% of excess weight lost, then you can incorporate a few in slowly.

Besides, right now they have no nutritional value to you with as little real estate you have in your stomach. You should only make room for Protein and veggies (when you're cleared for them) right now.

I waited 8 months to incorporate bread, and even then it's rare and only whole grain so it's good for me.I still don't do pasta and very little rice.

I have been eating fruit since 6 weeks out. There are carbs in fruit. I started with mashed peaches, pears and bananas in the soft food pureed/soft food stage because my nutritionist recommended it because I was suffering from severe fatigue and weakness. She thought adding the fruit would help and it did.

I was allowed no-sugar added applesauce, peaches and pears with my soft phase.

At 5 weeks post op, I was struggling to workout due to fatigue. Doc told me to add a banana before the workout. I only do carbs pre-workout but can only take in 1/4 of banana. Last week I had half a kind bar which has 5 grams of sugar. I had my best workout so far. If I'm not working out, I don't add carbs. Also I tried a few spoonfuls of rice at 6 weeks and my new tummy cannot tolerate. Yuck.
